Wasps playmaker and fellow All Black Lima Sopoaga agreed with his fellow countryman tweeting in reply 'preach braz' while former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen simply responded 'watch the golf!'.

Some Bath fans opted to take another approach and entice Barrett to join Bath with @thebathbadger tweeting 'What did you make of the rec? I hear their is a vacancy at 10 if you fancy it?'
