O'Driscoll heads for France

Munster lock Mick O’Driscoll is to join Heineken Cup finalists Perpignan next season.

O’Driscoll had been offered improved terms with the Munster squad, in line with established Irish international second rows Paul O’Connell and Donncha O’Callaghan, but is understood to have rejected those offers in favour of a switch to France.
