Six Nations: Dempsey - O'Driscoll is awesome

Girvan Dempsey believes his Leinster and Ireland team-mate Brian O’Driscoll is even more of a threat to the French now than when he tore them apart in Paris two years ago.

Full-back Dempsey has been a close-hand observer of the world-class skills of the Lions centre since he made his mark with a hat-trick of tries at Stade de France in March 2000 when Ireland inflicted the first of back-to-back victories over the French.
