It doesn’t look like Brian O’Driscoll is one to sit back on his laurels!

Just two days after his final appearance on the rugby field last Saturday, it has been revealed that he will join the radio station, Newstalk.

The station posted the surprising news to their Twitter account, writing: “We’re delighted to announce that @BrianODriscoll has joined the @offtheball team.”

The rugby star is seemingly delighted with his new post, saying: “Making the decision to join the Off the Ball team was an easy one for me – it’s the nation’s leading sports show and following a break this summer I’ll be more than ready for it come September.”

Ger Gilroy, sports editor over at Newstalk, expressed their delight at having the rugby veteran on their team: “We are thrilled that Brian has decided to join the Off the Ball team, we had a gap for a world class centre! Seriously though, his giant sports brain will be picked on a regular basis, we can’t wait.”

So, yesterday was Irish rubgy legend Brian O’Driscoll’s last rugby match ever (many tears were certainly shed!) and today his wife, Amy Huberman, tweeted the sweetest tribute to her husband ever!

The Moone Boy star, took to Twitter this morning to say: “A huge congrats to my other half on a wonderful career. Incredibly proud xx”

Ever the messer, the Irish stunner had dared BOD to do a version of Dirty Dancing’s Time of My Life around the pitch after the game.

While his knee injury might have gotten in the way of him doing the dare, Amy did hint that some form of dancing went on, even if Brian didn’t quite manage the lift.

Seriously, these guys are just too cute!

This has to be the best selfie of One Direction’s Croke Park concert – if not the world!

Niall Horan took to Twitter to share a snap of himself posing with some of the band’s biggest fans in the shape of Irish rugby hunks Cian Healy, Brian O’Driscoll and Jamie Heaslip.

Niall posted the photo on Twitter with the message, “Had these legends at the show last night! Brian o’driscoll , @ProperChurch @jamieheaslip !the best selfie I’ve taken ever ! #kings”.

Cian Healy also shared his own snap of the lads on Twitter, and cheekily implied that Niall could take a leaf out of their book when it came to keeping in very….very good shape.

“We need to teach @niallhoran how to squat!!” he wrote, referring to himself and his rugby pals as “#ClosetDirectioners”!

We wouldn’t mind watching that workout!

Just another reason to love Niall Horan!

Niall Horan has certainly won our hearts after his brief stay in Ireland this week.

First it was the formation of the ultimate bromance with the great Brian O’Driscoll, than he gave the ultimate shout-out to his hometown Mullingar, during Saturday night’s performance.

But Niall proved what a complete gent he really is, by making one six-year-old’s dreams come true yesterday.

Ahead of his Sunday show in Croke Park, Niall met with Leah Hession and signed some of her One Direction items.

Leah’s mum, Lorraine said that she and her daughter were taken completely by surprise by Niall’s appearance.

“I didn’t know about it. We were in the room a few minutes and then Niall walked in. He was on his own and didn’t have security or an entourage. He must have spent five minutes with us and he 100 per cent made the effort with Leah.”

Leah is battling a rare form of kidney cancer and Lorraine’s mum revealed that the whole encounter felt like a dream to her daughter.

“He was so kind and generous and hugged her and signed all of her memorabilia. Leah keeps asking was it a dream. This has given us precious memories that will be with us forever.”

Niall went on Twitter today to thank his fans “for an incredible weekend”.

While Niall is no doubt in full swing with the lads at Croke Park right now, he certainly knew how to relax before the big concert ahead.

Niall was spotted golfing yesterday with Rugby favourite, Brian O’Driscoll.

The two friends were spotted at the K Club, while Brian drove around the course with Niall sitting beside him.

While we are loving this bromance, this isn’t the first time the Irish legends have met. In 2013 Brian gave the One Direction star a signed Ireland Rugby Jersey with the name Horan placed on the back.

We hope these two, will spend more time together in the future!
