The twice British & Irish Lions tour captain, who has scored more tries, 38, than any centre in the game, commended his team for playing smart rugby and clinically taking their chances.
Ireland capitalised on the silly first-half sin-binning of Wales fullback Lee Byrne and the 31-year-old O'Driscoll said quick tries from scrumhalf Tomas O'Leary and wing Keith Earls proved their ability to turn it on when it matters.
SMART GAME
"When they went a man down, we upped the tempo, went after them and played a lot of rugby and they struggled to live with us for that ten minutes in particular."
"I think we controlled things well in that aspect and we just played a smart game. We didn't try to play too much rugby but when the opportunities arose we weren't afraid to throw it around."
