O’Driscoll can be Lions legend, claims O’Sullivan

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN has tipped Brian O’Driscoll to etch his name in Lions folklore. Despite the first Test defeat in South Africa, Ireland’s talisman O’Driscoll is still on course for a stunning treble in 2009 following Grand Slam and Heineken Cup triumphs.

O’Driscoll set up two of the Lions tries in Durban but former Ireland coach O’Sullivan believes the star centre can crown a glorious season by inspiring the Lions to victory in Pretoria on Saturday.

O’Sullivan said: “There’s no doubt that Brian’s in good form at the moment and has really brought his best form to the end of the season.
