BRIAN O’DRISCOLL ADMITTED he decided to delay his retirement by a year to defeat the All Blacks and to win the Six Nations for a second time.
New Zealand denied the centre of his first goal but France could not prevent him from ending his Test career as a Six Nations champion.
In a classy move, the All Blacks paid tribute to O’Driscoll on their official Facebook page. Their post included a picture of O’Driscoll sitting in the same dressing room as the Six Nations trophy. It read, “What an Irish rugby legend does after playing his last Test match and winning his second Six Nations championship.”
All Blacks out-half Dan Carter was one of many players, past and present, to post their tributes to O’Driscoll.
Dan Carter …a touch of class.
Hmmm much influence from Adidas here?
We lose a remarkable talent to retirement but all good things must come to a end. I pity the young talent putting on the 13 jersey for Ireland, they will always be compared to Bod.
They should have apologised for almost ending his career in 05 also
Let it go Calum BOD has
Maybe if Umaga had sent a message I’d be impressed. But of course that would never happen…
BOD = Champagne taste, champagne ability.
Class tribute by kick pins of rugby the all blacks,BOD the legend deserves every accolade he gets,what he did in Irish shirt is nothing of heroic!
#BODLEGEND
Takes a legend to know one.
As a Leinster supporter I love BOD, I saw him so many times when he just, popped into Temple Street Childrens hospital and saw how much the kids loved him and he obviously loved them. I dont care what you think about him, surely his career speaks for itself, but as a human, he is someone his parents can be very proud of him. I really wish that we had more of his like in Ireland today.
Brian deserves this way to end his international playing career.
