Slideshow: The custom boots Brian O'Driscoll will wear tomorrow are class

The Ireland star will bow out in style.

WHEN HE TAKES to the field at the Aviva for the final time as an Irish international tomorrow, Brian Oโ€™Driscoll will do so in style thanks to his boot manufacturers.

The centre will win a record 140th cap tomorrow in this custom footwear which feature his own initials as well an A for his wife Amy and an S for his daughter Sadie.

The 35-year oldโ€™s new boots also have the words โ€˜Leinsterโ€™ and โ€˜Ad Astraโ€™ sewn in. The latter is Latin for โ€œto the starsโ€, which features on his club UCDโ€™s crest.

We donโ€™t know about you, but we think they look pretty smart:

    Theyโ€™ll be specially tailored for BODโ€™s feet, so heโ€™ll be fine. No conventional shoe sizes when youโ€™re BOD!

    Watching BODโ€™s 2000 performance against France and his three prophetic though amateurish attempts to form Zeboโ€™s trade-mark Z sign with his hands.

    Was pretty good at other things, though.
