O’Driscoll Named As Sure Player Of RBS 6 Nations

Ireland’s leading rugby and sports media have voted Irish captain Brian O’Driscoll as the Sure For Men RBS Six Nations’ Player Of The Tournament for 2005.

The 26-year-old O’Driscoll sustained a hamstring injury during the opening game against Italy in Rome, but after missing the 40-13 victory over Scotland the following week, the Leinster star inspired Ireland to a 19-13 defeat of World champions England – scoring the vital second-half try in the process.

O’Driscoll again touched down against France but failed to stop the 2004 Six Nations winners from prevailing 26-19 at Lansdowne Road.

O’Driscoll – readying himself for tomorrow’s crunch Heineken Cup quarter-final against Leicester – took time out from training, to be presented with his trophy this morning.
