Brian O’Driscoll set to receive HUGE honour

The rugby star retired in 2014

Brian O’Driscoll is set to receive a huge honour – as the sports star will be inducted into the World Rugby’s Hall Of Fame.

The Dubliner retired from the sport in 2014 as Ireland’s record try-scorer and cap-holder, with 46 tries in 133 Test appearances from 1999-2014.

Brian is one of 12 inductees to the hall of fame this year.

“The latest set of inductions includes some real legends, players who have helped to shape the image of rugby and inspire generations of fans,” said World Rugby Chairman Bill Beaumont, according to RTE.

“They are truly some of the biggest names in our sport and all have contributed immensely to the enjoyment we have all felt watching top-level rugby over the decades.

“Each of these 12 inductees has made a positive impression on the sport that will last the test of time.”

Four England players, three Welshmen, a Scot, a Japanese legend, an Australian and a Canadian will be honoured at the ceremony on November 17.
