Caption competition: guess what BOD is thinking and win tickets to Italy game

The retiring outside centre will play his final Ireland game at Lansdowne Road tomorrow.

AS IRELAND CAPTAIN Paul O’Connell remarked when asked about Brian O’Driscoll’s home game, “It’s hard to think what life will be like without him.”

O’Driscoll will line out in green for the penultimate time as Italy come to the Aviva Stadium seeking a second successive win over Ireland. That game will be followed by Ireland Women taking on their Italian counterparts, from 5pm at the Aviva.

The IRFU, in the spirit of Saturday’s occasion as International Women’s Day, have very kindly given us two tickets for Irish fans to catch both games. All you have to do is come up with the choicest caption — in our comments section — for the picture below.

So, have a gander, have a ponder and get involved. We want to know what is going through O’Driscoll’s mind in the picture below. The cut-off point is 8pm this evening and the winner will be chosen by our good selves in TheScore.ie.
