“I never thought I’d go on such a brilliant journey.”
It’s been a rollercoaster of a week for fans of Irish rugby, from the highs of Sunday afternoon’s win against France to the news that Paul O’Connell would not finish the remainder of the tournament due to injury.
Twitter came alight as the news broke about the legendary Irish captain this week, but perhaps one of the most poignant videos of them all has come to light thanks to Three.
The video was filmed back in September before the Rugby World Cup kicked off, and nobody could have known then what would happen just a few weeks later.
The result? A must-see video of the legend that is Paul O’Connell, including a touching tribute from team mate Johnny Sexton.
We dare you not to get teary-eyed, particularly in the last minute.
