“As big an honour as it was to be invited I can’t ask for team runs to be at half-six in the evening so I can go to the royal wedding at Westminster Abbey,” O’Driscoll said. “One thing I learnt early on my career is that personal gratification takes second place. The team ethos comes first even after 12 years. My wife [the Irish actor Amy Huberman] is going on our behalf as we also felt there was an element of our representing Ireland as well. It’s going to be an incredible thing, with two billion watching, but I’ll be at home, preparing for Toulouse.”
