JUST WHEN YOU thought it was safe to throw up your ‘Farewell BOD’ banner…
Jamie Heaslip has told Newstalk that his Leinster and Ireland teammate Brian O’Driscoll may play on for another season.
Despite O’Driscoll insisting, as recently as 28 January, that he is hanging up his rugby boots at the end of the season, Heaslip remains unconvinced. The Ireland vice captain said, “He has a wealth of experience, he’s a very good bloke and has a good sense of things. He’s an icon of the sport.”
“He will be missed, on all those different levels,” he added, “but there might be a chance of one more year again at the end of the season. You never know. But let’s say, if Brian does decide to finish up, it’s an opportunity for others as well. Who is going to step up. Who is going to fill his shoes.”
For the record, O’Driscoll said this, at Carton House, two weeks ago: “I was really unsure last year and there were strange emotions but it is nice knowing that you can empty the tank in this Six Nations, knowing it will definitely be the last one.”
Leinster will have a press briefing at the RDS tomorrow, following a training run at their home ground. The question of question shall raise its head again. God help the brave soul that asks it.

Probably just at the early mass
Carroll is injured so much he should just take up drinking full time.
Them lads in the North-East of England are worse hoors than us for the drink.Randolph should be smarter ,Adrian is leaking goals so the manager just might be thinking of giving Randolph a chance. That chance may have gone now.
Learn your lesson,Stay away from big Andy on your down time !
They might have kipped in a mates house coz their wallets and phobes were stolen and couldn’t afford a taxi. Then they were probably just walking the streets to flag someone down for a lift.
Probably
What else have they to be at sure
It’s a load of crap the lad who posted the photo even said it was made up.. he was doing it for likes on twitter..
