SAM ARNOLD (MUNSTER)
O’Driscoll: “He has come on really well this last year. He’s got a really nice level of aggressiveness and I like that he can be direct and physical but has a nice subtlety to his game. Another season of playing European rugby will do him good with Munster. He’s not quite there yet but soon he’ll be knocking on that international door if he can keep up his level on performance.”
JULIAN SAVEA (TOULON)
O’Driscoll: “He seems a reasonable player doesn’t he?! You always get this calibre of player who have decided to move on from the Kiwi, South African or Australian plan and they get to play in Europe for hardly insignificant funds in great teams. That Toulon side of five or so years ago were such a joy to watch and if they want to get back there Savea is exactly the type of player who can help them do that with his pace and physicality.”
