Irish fans used to regularly chant in rugby matches, “ In BOD we trust”; BOD standing for Brian O’Driscoll, the greatest outside-centre in the history of the game.

O’Driscoll was a pillar in Irish defence and also managed to provide some crucial final passes to the wingers.

O’Driscoll played in 133 international matches for Ireland in a 15 year-long career and also featured in the British and Irish Lions team on 4 occasions. O’Driscoll won the Six Nations Championship twice with the Irish team and also appeared in 3 world cups. He was also adjudged the best player in the 6 Nations championship on 3 occasions. He had a great club career with Leinster and won the European Cup 3 times with them. Many call him the greatest all-round player of all time.
