Brian O’Driscoll is the current Ireland and Leinster rugby team captain and plays number 13 for both teams. Brian was awarded the Irish captaincy in 2003 after the international retirement of Ireland captain Keith Wood. With his new captaincy he then went on to lead Ireland to the Triple Crown and a second place finish in the Six Nations.

In 2007, Ireland enjoyed a great Six Nations tournament that saw them narrowly losing out to France on a single score. O’Driscoll is currently the Irish top try scorer with 31 tries, and is currently leading Ireland in the 2008 Six Nations Rugby Tournament, in which they are currently in second place, behind Wales.

Below you can view a clip of O’Driscoll in action -

Let’s look at what has been happening so far in the Six Nations:

This is how the standings look at the moment after three games played each:

Wales                  6

Ireland               4

France                4

England              4

Italy                    0

Scotland            0

As you can see, Wales are in the strongest position at the moment.

However, if O’Driscoll and his boys beat Wales in their next match, it could set up the possibility of Ireland, Wales, France and England all going into the final game with a chance of winning the championship.

Andrea Corr has embarked on a new solo career leaving her siblings behind. While the rest of The Corrs have taken a break from the group to raise their families, Andrea has decided to return to the music industry with a new and fresh sound.

Her record ‘Ten Feet High’ was released last summer and had success in Spain where it reached number 9 in the music charts. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe did not respond in the same way, and her record only reached number 38 in the UK album charts. The first single from the album is still receiving good radio-play in Spain – the track called ‘Shame on you (to keep my love from me)’ is an anti-war protest disguised as an upbeat dance tune. The album has a different vibe to it and is very different to the stuff she did with The Corrs.

To read more about The Corrs’ and, specifically, Andrea’s trajectory in the music industry, check out the March edition of European Vibe Magazine. We feature the rise, the golden era and relative decline in popularity of The Corrs, Andrea speaking on how the album came about and how we explain the album’s cool reception in most countries.
