Brian O'Driscoll and Jason Robinson on the 2009 Lions

Brian O'Driscoll and Jason Robinson are two of the finest ever rugby union players the game has produced - men who have performed miracles in the colours of Ireland and England respectively and also produced fine performances for the British and Irish Lions

They have been taking part in a series of HSBC Rugby Festivals offering their training tips to the next generation of rugby stars.

Aswell as talking about these festivals, in this interview Brian and Jason talk about their Lions memories, whether Brian should be selected for the 2009 tour of South Africa, whether Jason should come out of retirement for the tour, and if Jonny Wilkinson should retire after his latest injury.

Why when i look at all the videos of BOD there are people talking as if his best days are gone, he'll be missed etc. He's only 32 and still AMAZING! Oldest professional rugby player was 39! Still a few years in him yet anyway!! LOVE YOU BOD!!:D:D

[dangandan]

bod is quality. even though age isn't doing him any favours, he will be sorely missed by ireland. he simply does no wrong and does the remarkable when least expected. throughout his career he has been the sole reason why ireland's backline were able to be an international threat. ireland started becoming a lot more professional when BOD arrived on the scene. jason robinsons pretty good too.

Incredible!

I'm Irish and find this comment a little embaressing. Umaga is world famous and deservedly so, he has a lot of results to show, including Tri-Nations honors as captain. No need to put down one world class player to talk up another, BOD doesn't need that

[jkino78]

Because they're both attacking centres with awesome defence. I think it's BOD's ability to go through gaps and Umaga's ability to go through players that diffrentiates them. Massive respect for both players is due

[KiwiNJ]

Yeah mate that's so true. You have to wonder about someone's logic when they compare two players, whose careers spanned a whole decade, over two games only? Especially since Tana was a winger in 99 lol.

[nickdnz]

Wouldn't be nice if you lot knew anything about Rugby?

Brian O'Driscol is a fine player, and Umaga was also a fine player. As a player, Umaga was an inspirational leader, very hard hitter, amazing passer and strong and fast runner. O'Driscoll, plays a flashier style. He is a very good player in other aspects of the game. To compare the two is stupid. i prefer Umaga, but I still rate O'driscol highly. To say Umaga was outplayed by french back is idiotic, as different players perform different

tanas a coach BOD is not, fair enough neither of them have won a world cup. Thats why larkham is the best haha end off. lol
