A nice touch by an icon of the game.
The emotions are still very much raw throughout the west of Ireland as Connacht’s incredible journey this season has reached its ultimate destination; victory against Leinster and the Guinness Pro12 Championship in their hands.
The tributes have been pouring in after Pat Lam’s side’s tremendous 20-10 victory, and now one of Leinster and Ireland’s greatest ever players has weighed in with his own kind words on a famous night for rugby in this country.
Brian O’Driscoll was obviously full of optimism before kick-off…

But, after Connacht’s win, the legendary centre tweeted this message of congratulations for the opposition.
