O'Driscoll confident of making All Blacks clash

A bout of vertigo has hampered Brian O'Driscoll's final preparations for Saturday's showdown with New Zealand, but the Ireland skipper is confident he will be fit for the game in New Plymouth.

It is not the first time the 31-year-old has been affected by the problem, but he said the symptoms were not as severe as 2009 when it ruined his Six Nations Grand Slam celebrations.
