'Off The Ball' took their show down to Limerick for a chat about all things rugby and Ireland vs Wales in particular on Wednesday night, and aside from giving us one of our favourite ever stories from a Lions tour, there was also great enjoyment to be taken from the anecdotes of Welsh guest Dwayne Peel.
Peel and Brian O'Driscoll were sharing stories of rooming with the infamous Gavin Henson, and while BOD explained how he was shocked at just how much time the former Welsh international spent in the bathroom, Peel ultimately trumped his tale with a fact that he found out at Bristol training on Tuesday.
O'Driscoll: I roomed with Gavin Henson on a Lions tour and the morning of a midweek game in the evening and I remember going 'will I go for a p**s or not?, I think I need to go', I decided not to and I held on for another while. I'll try and snooze here.
Big Gav goes into the bathroom and three hour later comes out, the most pristine you have ever seen in your life, the full St Tropez, legs shaved, immaculate hair and he said 'if you look good, you play good!'. I think he played alright that night.
Peel: Literally, yesterday we're in training and he's the same, he's fully tanned up, this is the God's honest truth, and one of the boys says 'you're skins looking good Gav' and he said 'Yeah, I've started washing and showering with Evian'. He's buying bottled water and bathing. That's how crazy he is.
The man bathes with Evian!
Expensive taste.
That's the type of thing you would expect to hear from the likes of Beyoncé or perhaps the royal family of an exotic country, rather than a Welsh rugby player.
