It was his first game of the season but there was little sign of rustiness from the great man as Brian O’Driscoll delivered yet another classy display against the Cardiff Blues last night.

O’Driscoll was one of a number of Lions on both sides returning for their first taste of competitive action this season and he looked particularly sharp at the RDS, creating a try for Sean Cronin and looking to trouble the Cardiff defence at every opportunity before being withdrawn to a rousing reception minutes before the end.

Dominic Ryan and man of the match Ian Madigan added further touchdowns in an entertaining 34-20 for the Blues, but it was the performance of O’Driscoll that will have most pleased the home faithful, who will cherish these kind of displays in the great man’s last season for province and country.

Class is permanent.
