We’re not crying, it’s just been raining on our face…

To mark this weekend’s hugely momentous occasion of Brian O’Driscoll’s final game in an Ireland shirt, adidas assembled a whole host rugby stars to pay tribute to the retiring legend.

The official adidas blurb explains that “O’Driscoll, who announced he will retire at the end of the season, is set to gain his world record 141st cap against France in the Six Nations this weekend and will leave a lasting impact on the game.

As the most capped player in union history, he has 132 caps for Ireland (83 of which were as captain) and 8 for the British and Irish Lions. He has scored 46 tries for Ireland, making him the highest try scorer of all time for Irish Rugby. He also holds the Six Nations record for most tries scored with 26.”

Watch as Paul O’Connell, Paddy Jackson, Sean O’Brien, Adam Jones, Mike Brown, Robbie Henshaw and Manu Tuilagi, amongst others, all collectively say, “thank you Brian.”
