Iconic Irish rugby player Brian O'Driscoll has been handed a perfect end to his stellar international career when Ireland won the Six Nations title on Saturday with an impressive 22-20 victory over France.

Ireland scored three tries, with Jonathan Sexton getting two, to France's two in a pulsating encounter to see them to only their second win in Paris in 42 years.

According to Sport24, interestingly, the last time in 2000, O'Driscoll was also in the side and scored a hat-trick of tries.

France won a penalty in the second minute after Steve Walsh penalised Chris Henry and Maxime Machenaud converted it for 3-0, the report added.
