Brian O'Driscoll has last laugh as Johnny Sexton's trolling brutally backfires

Johnny Sexton couldn't resist the opportunity to have a laugh at Brian O'Driscoll's expense as the pair met for dinner with former Ireland teammate Rory Best earlier this week, but BOD had the last laugh.

Leinster and Ireland captain Sexton remains sidelined after undergoing an operation on a groin injury and is not expected to feature for Leinster again this season.

But the fly-half revealed this week that he expects to be fit and ready to go when Ireland meet for a pre-season training camp on June 19.

The 37-year-old was in Limerick for the launch of a new €30 million rugby museum in the city and met with former Ireland captains O'Driscoll and Best.

Sharing a picture on Instagram, O'Driscoll poked fun at Sexton over his time with French side Racing 92, highlighting that himself and Best were both "one club" men, while he wrote about Sexton: "Owner of an expensive extensive French wine collection".

Sexton saw the funny side, commenting "very good" on the post alongside a laughing emoji.

O'Driscoll's post came after Sexton shared the same photo with the caption: "It’s @brianodriscoll in the middle incase you didn’t recognise him without his glasses."
