Opinion: What's happened to team spirit?

Brian O'Driscoll is still bitter and resentful after being dropped from the final Lions test against the Wallabies. Gatland had gone for the Welsh pair of Jonathan Davies and Jamie Roberts and leaving out O'Driscoll in their astounding 41-16 victory.

In a recent Sky Sports interview O'Driscoll voiced his bitterness saying 'Do I resent him?Yeah..'. Pictures after the game shows O'Driscoll enjoying the festivities following that victory with the predominantly Welsh Lions winning team.

What is amazing is that he puts his displeasure of not playing that test over the teams outstanding victory. Its absolutely un-sportsmanlike (if there's such a word). We often get players who think that they are greater than the team. They think it's their right to be playing. The result obviously shows that Gatland had made the right decision.

Rugby players need to understand 'team ideology' and if O'Driscoll a veteran international and captain doesn't then we've got a problem. Players need to realize this and put their priorities right. They are there for the team, not the team for them.
