Wasps (2008)
Munster (2009)
Agen (2006)
O’Driscoll scored a hat-trick against the French side and found time to get sick on the halfway line midway through the first half.
Bourgoin (2004)
Brive (2010)
Bath (2006)
Ospreys (2007)
D’Arcy pop pass, O’Driscoll try. A tale told a thousand times.
Munster (2014)
The gritty, openside O’Driscoll that emerged in 2009 burrows over after three darts at the line.
Toulouse (2006)
And one that got away, against Ulster
Amazing how many of those tries were in the dying minutes or for bonus points. Also amazing how under rated Shane Horgan was. He looks awesome in those clips.
If Shaggy had possessed winger’s pace and acceleration he would have been incredible. As it was he was pretty, pretty good.
It was like a collection of Horgans best bits. Absolute class! Strength, pace, pass and feet, he had it all. BOD wasn’t bad either I suppose. Watching Darragh Fanning these days is very like shaggy of old.
Love the Bourgoin try view from behind, from about 35 seconds in. First-phase defence: destroyed!
Then there are the support lines against Ospreys and Toulouse, mentally miles ahead.
Six thumbs down for a mild addition to the BOD hagiography: say nice things about nice tries = boo!
Tough crowd. Probably a good thing in fairness.
Toulouse 2011 has to be in that list. The split second of a hip swivel to wrong foot a defence is often completely missed, but so critical to that season, and ultimately, that HEC win.

Drico you class act.. horgans out the back pass was fairly special.Very dusty in my house at the moment. ….my eyes god damn it…whats wrong with my eyes
Very good article by Tom English on the BBC site RE Drico: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-union/27641221
Agreed – this is a fine article and worth a read.
For me the Brive try was the pick. Great team try. Fantastic work by Horgan, sublime finish.
That second try against munster was in 2013
