What a coup this would be. The man regarded as the best Union centre in the world is supposedly keen on our version of rugby. Whether all this talk is just to bolster a new contract who knows, but I'd love to see him come across. I found this news on the totalrl.com forum.
and more from Welease Wodger
Driving into work this morning (in Dublin) I heard on Lite FM's sports bulletin that Irelands rugby union man Brian O'Driscoll wants to play League. and that he is linked to St helens.
anyone know anymore?

Well I don't know. It may have legs.
I just spoke to a contact I have in the game here. He tells me that when O'Driscoll was in Sydney this year he and the rest of the Irish team were desperatly looking for tickets to the Penrith v Sydney GF (along with the Scots and italian squads).
Aparantly O'Driscoll is a big fan of League. He got to the game and is reported to say 'this is the game for me'.
Call it BS if you want but I know this comes from a very reliable source.
He also tells me that O'D has indeed spoke to St Helens but it was all to be kept quite til after the ruwc.
Does anyone have a contact in St Helens to check this out?
They didn't say when it would happen though so it may be in a year or two. He'd wanna hurry up though.
