Brian O’Driscoll will forever be a name etched in Guinness Six Nations folklore.

With two Championship titles, 65 appearances and a record 26 tries, O’Driscoll’s incredible Championship legacy will live forever.
O'Driscoll was also chosen as Player of the Tournament in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 Six Nations Championships.
