We’re long overdue a Carlow winner in SW19. Is this the first step on that road?
Sean O’Brien moved closer to a debut Test appearance yesterday when Warren Gatland named the flanker on the bench for Saturday’s second Lion’s test in Melbourne.
But is the man they call the Tullow Tank preparing to take on a new sport? Probably not but INPHO captured some shots today of the Leinster man mucking around with a tennis racquet at training.
In O’Brien’s hands the racquet is more like a table tennis bat, and we’re not sure we like the look of his forehand (above), but with Nadal and Federer seemingly on the skids, it might be the Carlow man’s time to shine.
