Minor quibble: O'Connell was introduced as a British and Irish Lions captain, rather than an Irish captain, but we'll give the BBC a pass on that. O'Connell was joined by another Irish legend in Tony McCoy, either side of captain Phil 'Tuffers' Tufnell. Quite what O'Connell would make of being led by a captain prone to flagrant acts of arse chancer...
Round one was a quick-fire round, with Matt Dawson's team of Friend to David Moyes Leon Osman and British Olympian Elinor Barker. They registered a pretty solid score of seven, leaving O'Connell'sTufnall's side playing catch-up straight away. O'Connell was quiet and composed during the round, speaking calmly only when he knew an answer. Check out t...
Round two was absurdly convoluted: showing clips of various sportspeople whose initials made up a 'sporting term'. O'Connell cut through all of the bullshit, however, to deliver the already Borrusia Monchengladbach line. He earned a high-five from 'Tuffers' Tufnall and some extremely begrudging applause from Matt Dawson. In trademark fashion, O'Con...
The next round was equally complicated. Captains had to take to the floor, and had to apportion balls into a basket corresponding to an answer, the number of balls in each based on their confidence in the answer. Dawson was first up, and was given the question: which side has spent the highest number of seasons in the Premier League. The three opti...
Round four was the far-easier-to-understand Home or Away. Contestants choose a 'home' question for a point, or an 'away' question which asked for three answers in return for three points. O'Connell bravely selected 'away' with his team chasing. It was a Formula One question, and his team only went and got it. It left the score at 15-14 to Dawson go...
The final round - Sprint Finish - asked the captains to take to the floor, and describe sporting terms to his teammates without using the words in the title. Again, this round required more Tuffers eejitry, and he did a remarkably poor job in describing the terms to his teammates. There was a painful attempt at Kauto Star (although much of that was...
