Brian O'Driscoll has revealed that he will miss being around his teammates following his retirement from professional rugby.

The 35-year-old Leinster centre played his last ever game on Sunday as his side beat Glasgow Warriors to win their fourth Pro12 title.

O'Driscoll, who spent his entire club career with Leinster, told RTE: "I will miss hanging out with all my buddies and having a laugh, coming in every day and making sure that you're well equipped with your abuse because you know there is some coming at you!

"I'll miss that and the support that we've had. It's been a two-way relationship."

O'Driscoll bows out of the game having won 133 caps for Ireland.
