If Drico had done a move as sublime as that during an actual game commentators worldwide would be creaming themselves for eternity. The talent of the man is breathtaking.
No way is it a percentage play if you actually chip over the defensive line in a game.

If you f%~ked it up instead of diving on it and recycle then you'd hear no end of the criticism. /serious

Great skill though.

Well the talk of his injury wasn't exactly uplifting. Defo more than a calf strain.

BOD scored his 33rd try in the Heino at the weekend. He is 2 short of Vicent Clerc. Would be great if he could end up as top Heino try scorer to go along with his 6 nations top try scorer record and international record of most tries for a centre.

I have been thinking about this for a while- it is certainly possible on his current form that he could get a few more tries even in the pool stages. Not sure if Clerc is going to appear in any more HC games at this stage- he is 32 and seems to be out of favour. It would be a great achievement for the great man.

Temporarily take Gregan's cap record before Ritchie Mc catches him.

Pick up another 6n grand slam, European cup and league. That's what I want him to get before he retires.

Jamie Heaslip has hinted that his Leinster and Ireland team-mate Brian O'Driscoll may postpone his retirement

"He's a very good bloke and has a very good all-round sense of things, he's an icon of the sport and still a very good bloke, he will be missed."

It appears Jamie felt BOD's good bloke status needed re-affirming in case there was some change during the time it took to say the sentence. :shock:
The odds are good but the goods are odd.

I'd say Jamie was winding people up, doubt Drico was too pleased either way :)

I really hope Jamie is just taking the piss. BOD is a legend, the best player I've ever seen, but it is time for him to retire. He's done OK in the two games so far but I think a lot of it is because his form was awful before that we expected very little. There's no reason to think that what he has done this season, someone else couldn't do the same if given the same amount of time plus also added a massive amount more with ball running and an attacking threat.

I reckon (and hope) so.

By the end of the season he will have

The world intnl cap record

2 Grand slams

4 HCs

4 Rabo/magners/celtic trophies

The first HC and Rabo/magners/celtic double.

4 European Club Trophies in a row.

Oh Yeah and an Amlin.

Nice!

Should be enough even for him.
