    This is so embarrassing. Everyone knows why he was dropped. It was tactical and nothing else, and Gatland was proved right. Asking him like this live on TV and referring to BOD by his first name, as if he's his son or something. Totally embarrassing. Sport can be a tough world, but the way some Irish fans reacted was as if Brian O'Driscoll was more important than the team. Gatland made the call, and they won the bloody test series. Get over it.

    It was the combination between Davies and Roberts that was more important than the individual. It's like if the All Black players were available and you had a midfield partnership with Conrad Smith and Ma'a Nonu. Now, you could argue that Brian O'driscoll was a better player than Conrad Smith (although I'd disagree) and the team would be better having O'drisoll at 13, but the combination between Nonu and Smith is more valuable than the individual players.

    "What was it about his performance that made him droppable?" How flaming pathetic!! I never thought I'd say this but I'm finding the Irish more annoying than the English!! I'm thinking that most Irish would have loved it if the Lions actually lost that last test but hey they'd never admit it. Gats should have turned around and said in reply - What was it about Jonathan Davies performance that made him droppable then? He got dropped for the better players on the day and that's all it is. I respect Gats all the more for making that tough call! It would have been easier for him to make the popular choice but he didn't. Hats off to him.

    Because o Driscoll is a top player he does moan if things don't go his way, there's a more younger load of players coming through now of all nations and like gatland said they haven't won for a long time. The team doesn't rely on one experienced player and with the win it's proved that. Think Ireland need to get over one player not playing and support the other great players they've got......n that's coming from a welsh man

      And maybe it's because you're a welsh man that you can't understand what a slap in the face it was for Brian to not even be included in the match day squad.

      O Driscoll was a good player and probily the best player that's ever gonna play for Ireland but it's a team game and if he's gonna kick off bout sitting a game out then that's selfish and no respect for ur team mates or team. Roberts and davies play extremely well together so he sat out a game which they won. Don't hear the other nations moaning there players arnt playing. Wales was on top form and just won two straight championships so most of the lions were welsh, irland just won 6 nations so mite be more Irish it's the lions TEAM so win for every nation

    Why did you drop Brian???? He should never have played a test, a good player in his time but he's way passed his best, Gatland did what Declan Kidney didn't have the minerals to do, maybe Ireland would have had a better 6 nations had he been dropped....only went on tour for political reasons, certainly wasn't form.

    Wise decision. Mediocre player at best
