O'Driscoll Favourite to Lead Lions

Before Ireland's historic victory over Wales O'Connell was 4/6 favourite to captain the tour but his odds have now drifted to 13/8 following O'Driscoll's man of the match performance, which saw his odds collapse to 1/2 with Paddy Power. Wales Captain Ryan Jones has seen his odds of the captaincy almost double to 10/1 from 6/1. The Irish squad look set to dominate the Lions with Paddy Power offering just even money that six or more of the Lions starting XV will be Irish. The squad is almost certain to be captained by an Irishman and Brian O'Driscoll has replaced Paul O'Connell as favourite to be Lions captain for the second time in as many tours.

Meanwhile Ireland's heroic captain Brian O'Driscoll has been dubbed ‘The Million Dollar Man' by bookies Paddy Power, who have revealed that punters pocketed over €1 million backing their captain fantastic during the Six Nations Championship. In the final match alone, punters collected €290,000 on O'Driscoll to score the first try, €68,000 on him to score at any stage and €124,000 on him to be man of the match.

Paddy Power said, “O'Driscoll is deservedly the hero of punters after dominating the Six Nations but by God he cost us some money! It looks like there's more to come from him and the lads too – he looks nailed on to be captain and it might be that Fields of Athenry is the Lions theme tune this year!”
