WE’RE ALL STILL feeling that defeat on Sunday, but Brian O’Driscoll was actually on the field putting his head on the line.

Two captains and 17 months on from the last time O’Driscoll led out his nation, the Mirror’s deliberate mix-up reinstated him as captain and stripped Paul O’Connell of the honour in the process.

However, it was O’Driscoll’s follow up tweet that really zinged.
