Just when you thought you couldn’t like Brian O’Driscoll any more…

We’ve already seen how the kids at Temple Street hospital feel about BOD a few weeks ago (warning: it will get you in the feels if you missed it), so today Brian O’Driscoll decided to head along and visit them, along with the hardworking staff to see how they were getting on.

With the Six Nations trophy in tow, BOD, along with Irish team-mates Cian Healy, Jack McGrath and Ian Madigan, spent time with the staff and patients at the hospital this afternoon.

And the main picture shows the BOD, McGrath and Healy with 12-year-old Lauren McCullough from Louth and her mother Kerry.

Everyone throws around the whole legend and class thing, but we reckon we can all admit that Brian O’Driscoll just seems to be a pretty sound lad. And a sharp dresser, too…
