‘Fantastic’ Drico reaches 40 try mark

THE magical moment when Brian O’Driscoll scored Ireland’s second try at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday appears to have settled the argument as to who is still the top centre in world rugby.

The All Blacks, Australians and South Africans can put up as many candidates as they wish, but O’Driscoll will stand tall against any of them, according to experts and fans on both sides of the divide.

D4 supporters were joined by those from Munster, Ulster and Connacht – even the odd Kiwi – in praise of the Irish skipper for his contribution to Ireland’s fine effort to beat New Zealand for the first time.
