John Kirwan praises the performance of Barbarians outside centre Mike Tindall during their clashes with England and Ireland.

Barbarians coach John Kirwan has praised outside centre Mike Tindall for his performances against Ireland and England.

The 33-year-old scored a try and played a part in two other scores as he looked to impress his former bosses, having been dropped from the England set-up for his misconduct at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.

"Mike has been fantastic," said Kirwan.

"He was very good on Sunday [against England] and at 33 he wanted to back it up tonight by playing on his home ground.

"With Francois Louw he was the player of the day. He has great rugby nous, is a fantastic competitor and I'd be signing him up as he's great at going forward and if you look after yourself, you can play until you are 35 or 36."

Tindall has previously captained England during his 75 caps for his country.
