Pic: A Dublin pub will be giving away free beers if Sean O’Brien scores a try tomorrow night

We wouldn't put it past him

Conor Heneghan

Even more reason to want the Tullow Tank to do well on his comeback

It’s been a long time since Sean O’Brien was fit enough to pull on a green jersey (November 2013 was the last time, would you believe?) and his selection in the Irish Wolfhounds XV to play England tomorrow night is great to see.

Despite a lengthy absence with a shoulder injury, O’Brien will want to return with a bang against the auld enemy in Cork tomorrow evening; it’s not his style to ease his way back into things.

Punters at The Bridge 1859 Bar in Ballsbridge will also be hoping that O’Brien makes an impact because they’ll be giving away free tank beers if the Tullow Tank can mark his comeback with a try.

O’Brien does part-own the bar along with Jamie Heaslip and Rob and Dave Kearney so he might be down a few quid if he does cross the whitewash but we’re sure he won’t mind.

Great to have you back Sean.
