The UAFC

Brian O'Driscoll has been dropped
Twas on the news just now
The selectors dad
They must be mad
There`s bound to be a row

His father said
Now dry your eyes
And don`t get in a state
Let`s be fair now, after all
The man is Ninety-Eight

BOD only ever gets dropped by Kiwis.

Will Schmidt have the kahunas to do the same?

course not BOD has a contract for next season, he will play if still in possession of all limbs.

There had to be a Hitler parody.

Perhaps Angry Andy could offer some twitter advice to BOD on how to cope with the disappointment of non-selection, even when your form has been good enough to justify it.

Did BOD's form justify it though? He hasn't been fantastic in the two tests and Jonathan Davies (who was in-form before forced out of position) needs to play 13, he's nowhere near as good at 12. I would have had BOD on the bench, but certainly not behind Tuilagi who has done nothing at all.

I totally agree with you on the above, he should be at least on the bench.
What G**land has successfully achieved is, all media interest being focussed on this non-selection and away from the team!

I was only referring, tongue in cheek, to something I had heard some time ago, that BOD had a hand in the non-selection of AT in the Ireland side.
This together with the interesting Tweet Bod sent on the eve of AT getting his 50th Cap for Ireland v Canada.

Love this! The Aussie nurses get paid today!

There is a bit of symmetry about the whole thing... WG gives BOD his first cap against Australia in 1999 and ends up dropping him against Australia 14 years later!
