O'Driscoll to captain Ireland for Six Nations

Brian O'Driscoll has been named as Ireland captain for the 2004 Six Nations team, though his participation in the sqaud's preliminary training camp on Februaury 2-6 is subject to fitness.

O’Driscoll sustained a hamstring injury while on Heineken Cup duty for Leinster earlier this month and despite being back on the training field he has yet to be given the all-clear to resume playing.
