Leaving as winners the only send-off Blues brothers want

RABO DIRECT PRO12 FINAL:

Brian O’Driscoll and Leo Cullen’s lockers are just two places apart in Leinster’s UCD changing room. Or, they were, at least. On Thursday of this week the two vets returned to the inner sanctum after one last training session at their state-of-the-art HQ and packed up their belongings.

Tonight, the pair will repeat the process at the RDS once the Pro12 final against Glasgow Warriors is put to bed. Over 30 years of experience as professional rugby players: parked in the time it takes to fill two sports bags.
