Brian O’Driscoll is still resentful towards Warren Gatland for dropping him for the Lions’ Third Test decider against Australia.
The veteran centre played in the first two Tests but was left out of the match squad for the 41-16 victory as coach Gatland opted for the Welsh pair of Jonathan Davies and Jamie Roberts.
New Zealander Gatland was accused by former players of failing to understand the Lions and two months after the controversy O’Driscoll is still upset.
“Do I resent him? Yeah, there’s resentment of course,” he told Sky Sports. “Is he on the Christmas card list — unlikely. When you’re left with disappointment that way, you can’t but feel a little bit of resentment you know.”
