While Munster actually beat Leinster, there's no doubt that these are still worth featuring. /spanbr /br /There's actually quite a lot that happens in this three minute long clip. As you can see at the beginning, Leinster run the ball from deep before O'Driscoll puts a kick through. In the follow up he gets badly taken out by Marcus Horan, which results in him being knocked to the floor.br /br /While receiving medical attention, there's a turnover, so Munster counterattack. BOD, never one to let his own personal well being come ahead of his teams, jumps up at the last second to make the tackle. Probably quite a sneaky move, but it shows the commitment of the guy.br /br /He played on, and later in the match streaked up the left wing before delivering a pinpoint no- look flick pass to flyhalf Jonathan Sexton. As you can see, O'Driscoll touched the ball twice more in the movement, as Leinster gradually moved up field before earning a penalty.br /br /There's also a small cameo by European Player of the Year, Sean O'Brien, as he bumped off Ronan O'Gara in typical fashion. Unfortunately there was no proper replay at the time, but a little zoom and slow mo does the trick on this occasion.br /br /All in all, typical O'Driscoll brilliance on show. Him getting up to make that tackle when hurt was not only courageous, but pretty funny too.
