Brian O'Driscoll has been dropped
Twas on the news just now
The selectors dad
They must be mad
There`s bound to be a row

BOD only ever gets dropped by Kiwis.

course not BOD has a contract for next season, he will play if still in possession of all limbs.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Perhaps Angry Andy could offer some twitter advice to BOD on how to cope with the disappointment of non-selection, even when your form has been good enough to justify it. :roll:

Did BOD's form justify it though? He hasn't been fantastic in the two tests and Jonathan Davies (who was in-form before forced out of position) needs to play 13, he's nowhere near as good at 12. I would have had BOD on the bench, but certainly not behind Tuilagi who has done nothing at all.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

I totally agree with you on the above, he should be at least on the bench.
What G**land has successfully achieved is, all media interest being focussed on this non-selection and away from the team!

I was only referring, tongue in cheek, to something I had heard some time ago, that BOD had a hand in the non-selection of AT in the Ireland side.
This together with the interesting Tweet Bod sent on the eve of AT getting his 50th Cap for Ireland v Canada.

There is a bit of symmetry about the whole thing... WG gives BOD his first cap against Australia in 1999 and ends up dropping him against Australia 14 years later!
