O’Driscoll happy in leading role

IN less than a year, Mick O’Driscoll has graduated from bit-part player to taking a leading role in Munster’s Cup and League campaigns.

At Stradey Park, Llanelli, on Saturday, the Cork born second row will be a key figure in Munster’s drive to secure a place in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

Granted, he gets his chance in the absence of injured captain Paul O’Connell, but, on current form, he is well worth his automatic place.
