FORMER ENGLAND AND LIONS centre Jeremy Guscott believes Brian O’Driscoll should travel to Australia to take on the Wallabies this season.
Guscott, who played eight Test matches for the Lions, says the Irish centre has adapted his game to offset his age, 34, and could still do the job Down Under, with Jamie Roberts or Billy Twelvetrees as his attacking foil.

Speaking about O’Driscoll to HSBC’s Lions Monthly, Guscott said, “He made a lovely pass into the future for Simon Zebo to score [against Wales].
“His own tries, they’re more from two yards these days than 70 yards, like it was [against Australia] in 2001.
