It should be number one for feck’s sake
Why were we so worried? So what if Sean O’Brien was out of action for almost a full year with various shoulder related injury’s and tweaked his hamstring before his scheduled return against Italy in the Six Nations.
Everything was going to be OK because the Carlow man is just as abrasive and relentless at the break-down as he always was, and the proof was for all to see on Saturday at the Aviva against France The Ireland man got through the full 80 minutes and put in an incredible appearance as he tormented the French and cleared out some serious ball for Ireland.
In fact one of the most outstanding passages of play from O’Brien has made the Six Nations Play of the Week highlights video, as he cleans out a few French players during the midway point of the second half at the Aviva last Saturday
We’re a bit disappointed its only come in at number three-must be Jeremy Guscott doing the selections on these things-as Stuart Hogg’s breakaway try for Scotland was named number two, and number one is the movement by the England backline for a Jonathan Joseph try against Italy on Saturday.
