[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 1088706, member: 53057"] Depends, is Gatland picking the squad? How different do you think the game O'Driscoll played is from the current game in terms of size and fitness of the players? Sure when he broke through it was nowhere near comparable to now but he only retired in 2014. He played a number of years after professionalism had really been established and still had success. Would he make the current Leinster team? As highly as I rate Ringrose there is absolutely no doubt he would. The Lions? Again, I would say yes and if he did miss out it wouldn't be because he couldn't function in the game now or due to lack of space. BOD found and created space where others couldn't, that's even more valuable now if your argument about lack of space is correct. [/QUOTE]
