Schmidt hails the 'magician' O'Driscoll

“The magician” Brian O’Driscoll is the “final bastion” of creative centre play, according to Ireland boss Joe Schmidt.

O’Driscoll conjured three of Ireland’s seven tries in the thumping 46-7 RBS 6 Nations victory over Italy, a glorious farewell from international duty in Dublin for the 35-year-old.
