IRELAND CAPTAIN BRIAN O’Driscoll rocked up to the Aviva Stadium earlier today (despite the fact that this succinct summary of his day ommitted that detail) and dragged along this futurisitc-looking time capsule.
The container will be buried beneath the beuatiful new stadium during November to mark the game’s return to Lansdowne Road.
The pod – which will remain unopened for 50 years, we’re assured – will contain:
- Brian O’Driscoll’s jersey from the opening game at the ground against South Africa
- A photo compilation album, comprising photos sent by Irish rugby supporters
- And an A4-sized painting by a primary school student
Clearly, these are all great. But what really represents Irish rugby in 2010? We suggest Drico fills the bucket with:
- Jamie Heaslips’ new hat
- A pint from Slattery’s
- Tommy Bowe’s songbook
- Seriously, some of the nicknames – Girv the Swerve, BOD, ROG, Flash
- Donncha O’Callaghan’s red underpants
Anyone else want to cram in something else, before John Hayes reverses the digger in the gate?
