Brian O’Driscoll, Robbie Savage and Dustin the Turkey are having the craic on Twittter

Not something you see everyday.

While the focus of this story is based around Brian O’Driscoll’s bodacious beach-blonde hair, we couldn’t let the opportunity pass without mentioning our favourite moment involving Robbie Savage because it came via Roy Keane’s autobiography, The Second Half.

While Keane was Sunderland manager, he was close to signing the Welshman and writes: “So I got Robbie’s mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: ‘Hi, it’s Robbie – whazzup!’ like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: ‘I can’t be fucking signing that.’” FYI, any excuse to tell that story is always welcome.

While we really wished that the Leinster and Ireland legend responded to Robbie Savage’s tweet in a similar fashion, here’s what went down between two BT Sport pundits and a celebrity turkey.
