Brian O'Driscoll is currently on the mend and perhaps the added time on the couch gives him a chance to do some forward planning, primarily around winding up his incredible career. In today's Indo, celebrity hack Ken Sweeney breaks the news of the not one, but two charity testimonial dinners being planned for 2013 to celebrate all things BOD while raising money for a very good cause. They even bought a URL - www.bodtestimonial.ie.
This is worrying news for BOD lovers hoping O'Driscoll might play into 2014. But in the mean time, check out the committee of this function:
