This is great.
Ireland’s greatest ever rugby player getting dumped tackled in his formative years is always worth a look, and it’s made even better when the legend himself responds to it.
Irish radio DJ Declan Pierce, who actually played in the match, posted this excellent clip of a very young Brian O’Driscoll getting taken out of it, with ball in hands 20 years ago, and tagged the Leinster icon in the process.
@BrianODriscoll Do you remember this dump tackle on you by David Cassidy in 96 SCT versus @stmcrugby ? https://t.co/T3bloD3612

The former Lions captain couldn’t help but reply, and did so in predictably brilliant fashion.
@DecPierce @stmcrugby how could I forget getting my wings! Leo holding his own player back added a laugh to a memory I’d rather forget!
