O’Driscoll’s last home game

Calls home to mammy are a part of the Irish emigrant experience, and there will be many of them for rugby star Brian O’Driscoll’s last home game for Ireland, against Italy in the Aviva stadium.

Millions of Irish emigrants will watch from abroad, at all hours, to see O’Driscoll, our modern-day Cúchulainn, represent Ireland for the last time on Irish soil.
