Nothing more than the great man deserves.

Wimbledon is getting into it’s stride this weekend as Simona Halep and Kiki Bertens face off on Centre Court.

In attendance at the match and sitting in no other than the Royal Box on Centre Court is Brian O’Driscoll alongside the likes of David Beckham and Carl Froch.

Brian made the trip over with his wife Amy and in fairness to the pair, they scrub up pretty well.

The guests were introduced to the crowd by Sue Barker and when it came to the turn of the former Irish and Leinster captain, he received a warm reception from the assembled crowd.

The pair were famously invited to the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

It’s great to see him get the cheer he deserves in this clip below.

Skip to 1:40 to see the introduction of God Bod.
