Not gone yet, nor will he ever be forgotten.
Paul O’Connell was the star attraction for Irish rugby fans, on Wednesday, as he took part in a World Cup warm-up training session, at Irish Independent Park.
The Munster legend waved goodbye to the province at the end of last season but will forever be held dear by the fans that urged him on for the past 15 years.
He is off to Toulon after the World Cup but many Munster fans hope to see him back in a coaching capacity in the not too distant future.

O’Connell took part in a Q&A session at the Cork stadium, last night, and received a standing ovation from members of the Munster Rugby Supporters Club.
Forgive the shaky footage – it is a Vine of a Periscope.
And, legend that he is, O’Connell stuck around for photos and autographs long after the final questions were asked.
