Tweet victory for Donncha O’Callaghan over rugby rival Brian O’Driscoll

Facing off in the colours of Munster and Leinster, they had their fair share of wins and losses, but Donncha O’Callaghan can claim a bonus point victory over his former Ireland captain, Brian O’Driscoll, in their latest head-to-head on Twitter.

The two players may have amassed more than 200 caps for Ireland between them — a large number of them while lining out together — but the online battle of the quips was a good-natured return to the rivalry they exhibited in the red of Munster and blue of Leinster.

The tweet-off was precipitated by a picture posted to Clongowes Wood College’s Twitter account.
