England Rugby is also the author of one of the most engaging posts of the month &#8211; their post from September 9th,  in which they informed fans about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OfficialEnglandRugby\/videos\/10153265580999825\/\" target=\"_blank\">fantastic new animation<\/a> showing the power of fan support,  was the fourth best post in the UK in September.

Tesco Mobile with 95.9% of reactions to user posts comes in second,  while Barclaycard with 94.1% of reactions to user posts is third. We consider both liking and commenting to be a reaction to user posts..
