Irish great is the man the Wallabies fear
Australia star Adam Ashley-Cooper has described Brian O'Driscoll as a "freak" ahead of Saturday's massive World Cup showdown at Eden Park in Auckland.
Ashley-Cooper was told as a teenager to study the Irish captain in order to learn how an outside centre should play. Now the 27-year-old utility back is hoping to line up against O'Driscoll this weekend.
"Brian is a freak. He created a pretty painful result for us at Croke Park a couple of years ago when he scored under the posts to draw the game. He's achieved so much. All of us in the Aussie camp respect him so much.
"On a good day he's one of the best in the world. We're hoping he has a quiet night on Saturday. Absolutely he represents the same threat that he did five years ago.
"Players like Brian turn up in arenas like this. It's a World Cup and he's here to play. Back in 2002 I was told by my coach to study Brian O'Driscoll because he was the best at what he did at 13.
