ROB KEARNEY WILL certainly miss his sparring partner Brian O’Driscoll when the centre retires at the end of the season.
The provincial and international teammates were paired off against each other at Leinster’s Monday morning training session and, if the pictures are any proof, Kearney got the better of his elder.
Of course, this is not the first time that the pair have duked it out in training.
All that practice comes in handy when Liam Williams is kneeing teammates in the head and Mike Phillips is throwing his weight around.
