Pic: Brian O’Driscoll might actually be a time-travelling political correspondent

Uncanny resemblance

Ben Kiely

Brian O’Driscoll’s doppelganger has been found.

It seems strange that we’ve never come across this before, but Brian O’Driscoll is a dead ringer for an RTE political correspondent. Well, a younger version of an RTE political correspondent to be exact.

One of our readers sent us in a photo of RTE’s David Davin Power in the 1980s when he looked the absolute spit of Ireland’s greatest ever rugby player.

Power may be sporting a perm and moustache combination, as was the style of the time, but other than that he bears an uncanny resemblance to Brian O’Driscoll.

It almost looks like Brian O’Driscoll travelled back in time and impersonated the journalist by donning the least convincing disguise in the history of disguises.

Well, the jig is finally up, BOD. You can’t pull the wool over our eyes.
