BRIAN O’DRISCOLL and Amy Huberman are expecting a second child, according to multiple reports this evening.

This means their daughter Sadie will be getting a younger sibling. And the news comes just a day after a second royal baby was announced by Prince William and Kate Middleton.

So naturally, Irish people are already making it into a competition.

And frankly there can be only one winner.

Wills and Kate have totally been outshone by BOD and Amy #irishroyalbaby

In fact, anything the Brits can do, we can do better.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

You’d almost pity them at this stage.

I feel sorry for the second Royal Baby. They are going to be completely overshadowed by BOD and Amy's baby news.

It’s not like people would get needlessly competitive about a joyful event for two couples, is it?
