Brian O’Driscoll believes Six Nations star Jamison Gibson-Park was “very lucky” to avoid a red card in Friday night’s all-Irish Champions Cup clash. Leinster scrum-half Gibson-Park, who had such a fine Championship for Ireland, was involved in a highly controversial incident during the last 16 tie against Connacht out in Galway.
With 56 minutes on the clock, his right shoulder connected with the face of opposing No 9 Kieran Marmion as he shaped to make a tackle. Fellow international Marmion was left with a badly bloodied nose and, as the replays were shown, the view of the BT Sport pundits was that Gibson-Park was in big trouble.
