'He won't miss any more games, the injury isn't that significant' - O'Connor on BOD

The Australian also joked that Leo Cullen should be fit enough to start coaching the forwards next season.

โ€œTWO MINUTES IN heaven is better than one minute in heaven.โ€ โ€” Flight of the Conchords, Business Time.

In the end, Leinster supporters got eight minutes of Brian Oโ€™Driscoll before their favourite son limped off with a calf injury. His teammates rallied from his early loss and a 6-0 deficit to beat Glasgow Warriors 34-12 and retain the RaboDirect Pro12 title.

Oโ€™Driscoll was interviewed on TV after the game but was a strange no-show at the post-match briefing. Apparently, he did not want to deflect from the other 22 players than had a hand in securing silverware for the the sixth time in seven seasons.

It was left to Leinster head coach Matt Oโ€™Connor to field questions on Oโ€™Driscollโ€™s injury. โ€œI donโ€™t even know, I donโ€™t care. Heโ€™s not playing again, move on,โ€ remarked the Australian. He added, โ€œโ€˜He wonโ€™t miss any more games, the injury isnโ€™t that significant.โ€

    @James Dundon: part of me would but it would be a step back for him. Celtic needs a serious overhaul if they are to regain their greatness and its really high time Scottish teams joined the English leagues.
