Sean O'Brien ?

(Oldest Posts First)

He finished off one of the best tries that has ever been scored in the game against the All Blacks this morning

My question is did he ever play GAA ?

Like most rugby players and most kids in ireland he will have played plenty of GAA as a kid. When he joined pro rugby set up he obviously had to stop playing but when he was injured a few years back and out for quite a while he went and played a junior B league game for his club in Carlow

Played minor for Carlow also and despite his rugby commitments he was a selector on the Carlow senior team during Anthony Rainbow's otherwise forgettable term as Carlow manager about four years back.

Replying To Onion Breath:  "Played minor for Carlow also and despite his rugby commitments he was a selector on the Carlow senior team during Anthony Rainbow's otherwise forgettable term as Carlow manager about four years back."
He had an other excellent game for the Lions this morning and was a contender for the MOTM
