BOD on the time Malcolm O'Kelly turned up for Lions flight with just a small plastic bag

On Wednesday night, Ireland and Ulster forward Iain Henderson spoke to Off The Ball about some of his escapades, including destroying microwaves with his college friends.

Brian O'Driscoll was guest presenting the show tonight and gave his take on his former team-mate, comparing him to another former colleague.

"He reminds me a bit of Malcolm O'Kelly where you're very laid back and you're not bothered by a whole lot, but then very intelligent academically and athletically very impressive," he said, before recalling an anecdote about O'Kelly arriving at the airport before a Lions' tour.

"I had a bag packed full of so much stuff and I looked at him and he had this tiny little Dunne's plastic bag. And he was notoriously late for flights and came strolling in ten minutes before we had to check through and get down to our gate. He was so chilled and I just thought 'imagine we missed the flight going over to join the Lions'. He just said 'it's grand bud, I've got a toothbrush and toothpaste. We're getting everything else'".
