Experience keeps O’Driscoll on toes

Mick O’Driscoll will keep his charges well in rein as Munster go in search of another crucial RaboDirect Pro12 victory over Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade tomorrow night.

The experienced international second-rower is looking forward to the clash, but recognised yesterday that nothing will come easy against a team that has posed all sorts of problems for his side in the past.

“Our record against them over there hasn’t been great in recent times,” he said. “I think they were the one Welsh side that beat us in Wales last season. I do know that they are always very competitive opposition on their own patch.
