Drico leaves team mates to coldly go

IT’S the kind of press release to get female rugby fans everywhere excited - news that Brian O’Driscoll and other Irish rugby stars will be modelling underwear in Dublin city centre.

No doubt, visions of a scantily-clad “Drico” adopting poses normally associated with his model girlfriend, Glenda Gilsen, would have provided plenty of festive cheer to lunchtime shoppers of the fairer sex.

Sadly, the Irish captain chose cold feet over the risk of freezing other parts of his anatomy as he cried off attending a planned photo-shoot at Arnott’s store in Henry Street yesterday.
