Jonny Wilkinson has been using his Twitter account to thanks some of his contemporaries in the game, and he saves some special praise for our own Brian O’Driscoll.
Both players retired this summer after stellar careers, and Wilkinson took to social media to tweet some friends of his including Sonny Bill Williams, Jamie Roberts, Damien Traille and Jason Robinson.
The former Toulon and England fly-half saved the kindest words of all for O’Driscoll, however, using the hashtag #heroofmine to pay his respects.
@BrianODriscoll thanks 4 ur support Dricco. Noone has given the game more. V sad we only got to play together a few times. #heroofmine
