Ireland can learn from defeats - O'Driscoll

Lions centre Brian O’Driscoll hopes the painful memories of recent defeats at Twickenham will inspire Ireland to a heroic victory over England in Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations showdown.

Irish rugby has enjoyed a revival in recent years but that success has not been transferred to English soil following a 45-11 rout at HQ two years ago and an equally one-sided 50-18 drubbing in 2000.
