Is O'Driscoll Ireland's greatest player?

WHILE passion, excitement and drama were very much in evidence at all three Six Nations venues last weekend, the quality of rugby was somewhat disappointing.

In a tournament of this nature, nobody wants to lose the opening encounter. As a result an element of fear tends to dominate.

While Eddie O'Sullivan will be concerned with certain aspects of his team's performance on Sunday, there was nothing in the displays of the other sides to suggest Ireland can't win this championship.
