Brian O’Driscoll isn’t the only rugby player hanging up his boots this weekend, so Paddy Cullen’s Pub has made sure that Leo Cullen gets the send-off he deserves…

There’s no doubt that all the attention will be on the legend that is Brian O’Driscoll this weekend as he plays in his last ever rugby match for Leinster against the Glasgow Warriors.

However, he’s not the only Irish and Leinster legend hanging up the boots for good, as 36-year-old Leo Cullen will also be calling it a day after what will be an amazing career on the pitch.

Guinness Ireland & Paddy Cullen’s Pub on Merrion Rd, Dublin, has transformed the outside of the pub so that it reads “Leo Cullen’s” instead of “Paddy Cullen’s”. It’s a simple idea, but it certainly is a great way of showing appreciation for the big man.
