We’ve just found the 49th reason why Paul O’Connell is the greatest living human being from Ireland.
Whilst we’re basking in the glory of the country’s legendary number five with 48 of the things that make him so damn incredible, O’Connell is intent on hitting 50 before the weekend.
The Irish team are in Rome ahead of their Six Nations opener tomorrow with Italy and, as they made their way through the streets kitted in tracksuits, carrying training gear, Paul O’Connell showed us that he doesn’t buy into this modern kit back nonsense.
Rob Kearney tweeted a photo of the skipper carrying his stuff in a plastic bag swung around his shoulder as he nonchalantly paces ahead.
Classic POC.
Never say Paul O’Connell has let his superstar image go to his head. Well, either that or he’s giving adidas a clever, little plug.
If anyone has a spare @IrishRugby back pack can they send it to Rome for Paulie's attention please!! pic.twitter.com/yhIqL4KUFc

Fear not though, help is at hand.
Never to miss an opportunity, Kearney’s Leinster were straight in with an offer for the Munster man.
