Donncha O’Callaghan owns BOD on twitter

We like nothing better than a bit of banter between our sporting heroes and yesterday gave us a fantastic exchange between two Munster and Leinster greats.

Clongowes Wood College sent a picture of a group of their students to both Brian O’Driscoll and Donncha O’Callaghan. All bar one were reading BOD’s recent autobiography; the odd man out was reading O’Callaghan’s earlier book.

Elements book club started again this term, unfortunately one lad didn't get the memo. @BrianODriscoll @docallaghan4 pic.twitter.com/oAjo4WUZtU

The Leinster legend responded first, suggesting O’Callaghan’s biography must have come from the bargain basement bin.

@clongowes @docallaghan4 ah he must have only had 3.99 of his pocket money left! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A long silence suggested O’Callaghan was taking the high moral ground and ignoring the insult, but he then hit back with a cracking response.

@clongowes @BrianODriscoll How did that honours student end up in the foundation English class ?!?!

Sorry Brian, you're usually a winner when it comes to twitter bouts, but Donncha wins this one.
