O’Driscoll says win ‘distinct possibility’

Brian O’Driscoll last night issued a rallying call to his Ireland teammates ahead of Sunday’s clash against the All Blacks insisting they can end the World Champions unbeaten march through 2013.

Though doubts remain over O’Driscoll’s participation due to a calf injury, there was no uncertainty about his mindset for the mission against Richie McCaw and company who are bidding to become the first team in the professional era to go through a calendar year without a defeat.

Victory against New Zealand is the only box the legendary O’Driscoll has failed to tick in an illustrious career with Ireland and the Lions. But that doesn’t mean he has given up hope.
