Brian O’Driscoll has weighed in on the Jack Grealish for Ireland debate

BOD adds his two cents to the Jack Grealish debate

It’s an opinion that will probably split Irish fans right down the middle.

Irish rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll has added his two cents to the debate surrounding Jack Grealish’s international future after the Aston Villa midfielder turned down a chance to join Martin O’Neill’s squad ahead of the clashes with England and Scotland next month.

On Newstalk’s Off the Ball last night, a show on which BOD is a regular contributor, Kenny Cunningham expressed his opinion that he wouldn’t call Grealish up for another squad after he turned down the opportunity yesterday.

This morning, O’Driscoll tweeted that he “couldn’t agree more” with Cunningham’s opinion, a statement that will meet with approval with plenty of Irish fans who feel the same way and disapproval from those still clinging onto the hope of seeing Grealish in a green jersey.

With Grealish unlikely to make a decision until September, it looks like this one is going to rumble on for some time yet.
