The highlight of the game though, aside from the convincing Irish win, was Brian O’Driscoll’s breaking of a record that has stood for over 70 years. /spanbr /br /Despite having a relatively poor tournament, Ireland finished on a high as they stopped England from picking up the much sought after Six Nations Grand Slam. For O’Driscoll, it was a day of personal triumph as the win was capped off with a historic 25th try for his country in the competition, surpassing Ian Smith's record that was set between 1924 and 1933.br /br /"I didn't know Ian Smith myself! But 78 years is a very long time for a record to stand. It's great and a real honour, said O’Driscoll. "Individual accolades are what you think about when your career is finished, but I hope I have a bit left me in so I won't dwell on it."br /br /The following video isn’t in the best quality possible unfortunately, but it’s still worth having a look at as it covers each one of the 25 tries the great centre has scored since making his international debut for Ireland back in 2000.br /br /A brilliant achievement, big congratulations go out to the great man and it's good to hear that he may be back again next year, hoping to extend that record even further.br /br /centerobject width="400" height="288"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lx-9BAGWINM?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lx-9BAGWINM?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="288"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span04:46/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-8775888450475703034?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tqJlf4BHn6jBIz5N8JaDIAbwglU/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tqJlf4BHn6jBIz5N8JaDIAbwglU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tqJlf4BHn6jBIz5N8JaDIAbwglU/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tqJlf4BHn6jBIz5N8JaDIAbwglU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=mfDSszKh-IU:g5tNcguYPzY:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/mfDSszKh-IU" height="1" width="1"/ More...
