O’Driscoll: I’ll be fine

IRISH captain Brian O’Driscoll moved last night to allay concerns that he could miss today’s big Six Nations clash at Twickenham against England with a stomach bug.

O’Driscoll’s participation was thrown into doubt yesterday after missing the Captain’s Run at the match venue and failing to attend the final press conference in the afternoon.

But using his Twitter account yesterday, he posted: “What we have managed in Twickenham in the past won’t count for anything come 4.0pm tomorrow. New day, new game. I’ll be fine.”
