'He's one of the best players I've ever played with. As a forward, I'd

Seán O'Brien does not come from a traditional rugby background. He grew
up on a farm in Tullow, far from the rugby hotbeds of Limerick and Cork
or the fee-paying schools of Dublin. But as he made his way up through
the ranks, it soon became clear that he was a very special player and a
very special personality.
Now, Seán O'Brien tells the remarkable and unlikely story of his rise to
the highest levels of world rugby, and of a decade of success with
Leinster, Ireland and the British and Irish Lions.

tops-off revelation, although there is a good bit of that. It's more
about the baring of his vulnerabilities and driving forces' Sunday
