During the mid 1980s the Barbarians fielded a first XV with players from 11 different countries. In 2003, the Barbarians had no fewer than 22 nations represented within its ranks. Despite the British origins of the club, they are really just an English-speaking club welcoming players of any nationality, and always have a few Belgian players in their membership. A former player, Freddy Thielemans, is currently Mayor of Brussels.
Since 1995 a Ladies XV has also been a successfully run.
