Lions skipper O’Driscoll glad of insight into Keane edge ahead of trip

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL has revealed that a chat with Ireland football captain Roy Keane was the perfect send-off for the Lions tour to New Zealand.

The Lions were based at the same South Wales hotel as Manchester United before last weekend’s FA Cup final and O’Driscoll and Keane spent some time together.

“Roy thinks we are really going to be up against it,” said O’Driscoll.
