British Lions and Ireland rugby skipper Brian O’Driscoll has revealed how some words of encouragement from Manchester United captain Roy Keane have helped before the first test.

O’Driscoll was at the FA Cup final along with the rest of the Lions’ squad and they stayed in the same hotel as United.

The Irish rugby skipper met his soccer counterpart in the lobby and O’Driscoll admitted that it was great to get some words of encouragement from one of his heroes.

“Roy thinks we are really going to be up against it,” said O’Driscoll. “He’s looked at the form the All Blacks are in and knows how rare it is for the Lions to win there, but he’s love to see us win. It was great to sit down and talk to him.

“He is a national icon, a big hero and it’s always nice to meet your heroes on a personal level. He is so passionate about winning and that is infectious.”

Keane's hardly the guy to talk to about winning things this season ;)
