Paul, please. Don’t go. Just don’t… okay?
The build-up to the Rugby World Cup in September has us both pumped and worried. We’re going to watch one of the greatest leaders in sport charge from the front on the head of a regimented Joe Schmidt army.
But we might also have to come to terms with the departure of the big man.
Paul O’Connell’s career has been nothing short of inspirational to date. Everything he does, he does it with a huge heart and an even bigger set of shoulders.
They’ll tell tales of the legendary number five long after he’s hung up the boots but we’re still enjoying the magic while it lasts, as the privileged few who have witnessed him in his pomp.
And the good folk at Inferno Productions have managed to capture the very essence of O’Connell in this brilliant tribute video.
Sit back and marvel at the glory of POC. It will have you holding back the tears and exploding with fire, as proud as ever to be Irish.
