WATCH: "We just need to focus on ourselves" - Brian O'Driscoll

Speaking on the Off the Wall podcast, Brian O’Driscoll emphasized that Ireland need to focus on themselves as a rugby nation rather than looking elsewhere for answers. He highlighted the challenge the team faces in replacing five recent Test centurions, Conor Murray, Johnny Sexton, Rory Best, Paul O’Mahony, and Keith Earls, all of whom have retired over the past two years. O’Driscoll stressed the importance of appreciating the current team and the moment they are in, acknowledging that while transitions are difficult, there is still much to celebrate in Irish rugby.
