No one can embarrass Brian O’Driscoll quite like Brian O’Driscoll.
Ben Kay found that out this fact of life on Saturday evening.
The former England lock was in the commentary box in the Aviva Stadium for Munster’s Champions Cup semi-final clash against Saracens when he spotted Drico’s press pass.
Although it’s a standard headshot, you can clearly see that the rugby legend is donning a Lions jersey in the photo, and Kay couldn’t resist calling him out on it.

You may have expected O’Driscoll to take the solid burn, tip his hat to Kay and accept the fact that he got a little bit owned.
How wrong you would be.
Instead, he pulled out a perfect nugget of information that trumped Kay’s dig. He revealed that for three years, his Irish passport photo was actually himself wearing the green jersey.
All joking aside the IRFU needed to do a an emergency one which had me in my Irish jersey for 3 years until it was 'stolen'… https://t.co/AVCXISrf4H
