Irish legend Brian O'Driscoll plays his final Test match this weekend when Ireland take on France in Paris. To commemorate the occasion, and a fine career, adidas have put together this video that features top players from various countries giving their final thoughts on O'Driscoll.
Feel free to leave your thoughts on BOD in the comments below. Greatest Irish back ever?

Maybe it's being held here ?
If I were BOD I think I'd be a bit embarrassed by this. These sponsors need to just let these things develop organically, instead of feeding the players cheesy lines. Adidas of all companies should know better; they set the standard 10 years ago with that Wilko-Becks training ground thing.
Yes! I would. Bloody ridiculous. what is this, Hallow-fuckin-een?
The video was a lil contrived which is the exact opposite of BOD and everything he's Ever stood for. God even his post game words, joking about Obama having a piece of paper put in front of him and putting on the jersey in years to come when no one is looking cut right to the core of this incredibly humble superstar. I had tears watching the temple street video as well realizing I too will never watch my favorite athlete compete for my favorite team ever again. I'm not even sure they'll be my favorites without him.
Great sportsman who brought some magic to three-quarter play in rugby in three 21st century! Up there with the best - Barry John, Mike Gibson, Dani Herber, Mark Ella, Steve Pokere in how to unlock a defence! British & Irish Lion says it all..
That brought tears to my eyes. Thanks, sincerely.
Puma (Irelands sponsor) missed out big time by not doing anything for BOD.
Brilliant from the players.
Brian O'Driscoll you've changed rugby and will never be forgotten! You're a legend.
I'm not crying... http://youtu.be/ZGes7FDmHAM

Thanks Connacht. Brilliant vid. Now have a big fat smile on my face for the day (and some serious disregard for life's small annoyances...)
An absolute legend, we were lucky to have seen him play. A beautiful tribute to the man from not only his friends and colleagues but also from his "enemies". Just goes to prove what a great game rugby is.
Check out what how much he is loved by the sick kids at Temple Street Hospital in Dublin:

A real gent, great role model for kids and epitomises what our sport is all about
