No final whistle on Brian O’Driscoll’s earning potential

Separate accounts just filed also show that O’Driscoll’s former Ireland team-mate, Johnny Sexton, didn’t fare too badly either last year. He recorded a doubling in profits to over €430,000 as he reaped the benefits of his money-spinning move to Paris.
O’Driscoll may have walked away from a lucrative playing contract with Ireland and Leinster this year with his emotional retirement from rugby, but he can console himself with building a large cash pile over his glittering career as he faces into his non-playing days.
