Strictly business as O’Driscoll’s Lions on final hunt

AS Leinster prepare for the Battle of Ireland on Saturday, Brian O’Driscoll has suspended cordial relations with his Triple Crown winning Munster colleagues.

“I’m sure friendships will be resumed come Monday morning, but you have to get into a zone, and that’s the way it has been with myself and my Munster friends,” he said.

Leinster named a panel of 23 in Dublin yesterday, a squad containing no startling news, as coach Michael Cheika revealed there are no injury problems.
