O'Driscoll explains his infamous tomato quote which will NEVER get old

It’s been 11 years since Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll produced one of his most memorable moments off the pitch when he described Martin Johnson as a fruit salad.

During a pre-match press conference ahead of a Test match against England in 2009 O’Driscoll said: "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad."

Post retirement O'Driscoll revealed on The Clare Balding Show that he won a bet with team-mate Gordon D'Arcy by inserting the random quote into the press conference. D'Arcy's forfeit was quite something.
