Sean O'Brien is a legend.
The Carlow native has been a favourite of Ireland and Leinster rugby fans for years. And today, on his 30th birthday, we pay tribute to The Tullow Tank.
Why do we love Sean O'Brien? Well, for starters just look at some of the things he's done for Ireland on the rugby pitch! Mr. Machine, indeed!
When he's not making bits of fellas in a green or blue jersey, Sean can be seen having the craic online. He's one of our favourite people on Twitter. Here are our top five reasons why;
1: He loves dogs.

2: His farming pics. You can take the man out of the fields but you can't take the fields out of the man!

4: When he goes to a gig, he's not afraid to slum it like the rest of us. No VIP tent for our Sean!
