Tribute to former Munster and Irish international second row and British and Irish Lion captain of 2009 Paul O'Connell.
Paul Jeremiah O'Connell (born 20 October 1979) is a retired Irish rugby union player. When he stopped playing, he was Ireland's third most-capped player (108) and the eighteenth most-capped international player in rugby union history. During his career, O'Connell captained Munster, Ireland and the British and Irish Lions.
I remember watching the Ireland games thinking he was Titan of a player so glad he made it as a lions Captain!!!! Great player , motivator of men and lead from the front every game !!!!
A giant of a man in every way
Legend
A true 100%every time player .It normally took two men to bring him down ,and even that wasent enough sometimes .What a great player 👏👏👏🇨🇮
Thank you Paul
One of the greats
When I was younger I would watch rugby with my family, Ireland were usually the underdogs at that point but I always was and still have a deep love for Paul O’Connell, he was such an inspiration to the sport and it doesn’t feel the same without him, in my rugby perspective. Once Johnny sexton joining the team and Paul retiring, and now Johnny sexton retiring.
God I feel old. I love this sport
This video deserves so more love.
What a player!!!
This dude is teak tough
How lucky we were 🇮🇪
Great video man
Sadly superstar tuff guy Paul no longer playing anymore everyone has there own favourite player Evan I don't understand this game but this man very talented player may he live long and have great life
The real Big Red Machine, nevermind that actor in WWE.
Incredibly overrated. What EXACTLY does he do better than any other good second rower out there. And ffs dont say he was a leader.
if you have to ask
explaining it to you won't help
but hey
you are right,and the entire rugby world are wrong? clown.
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 ok then. Instead of asking I'll point it out. Only ever got to the quarters of the world cup. Won ONE grand slam. Slow. Poor basic skills. OVERRATED.

So.....Brian O Driscoll is overrated because he only got to the quarters,and only has one grand slam......
He's overrated because he couldn't win lineouts,or clear rucks?
Who da fuck judges locks on their speed?
Hmm,instead of asking,I'll point it out
Clowns who love to be contrarian,because they can't accept the rest of the world being right.
Clown.
SO many people on these comments that insist on highlighting two things. 1. they know SFA about Rugby and 2. never played any sport never mind Rugby.
If you had to pick one thing it's his lineout in attack and defence. That was his tangible point of difference. The detail he put into that part of his game has him up their as one of the best. Victor Mattfield who was also world class in that area often references the 2009 Ireland vs South Africa game in Croke park as a bit of a job done on him by O'Connell. Add to that the rest of his game was very very good. The intangibles are harder to measure but they are what separate him from a lot of others. Theirs very few people in the game with his desire and will to win
Must have dropped / knocked on more ball than any Irish player in history . Bakkies Botha beat up his players on the 2009 Lions Tour . Should never have been captain .
Fggg Fffg fuck off
Fggg Fffg : totally agree with you. Went missing in action against the Boks in 2009.
You haven't a clue about Rugby so please in the future keep your idiot opinion to yourself. Maybe keep it to the D4 mutual w@nking appreciation forums Cheers
@@LimerickWarrior1 I'll post my opinion wherever I want to. Excellent argument btw (not really, just small minded abuse). The Irish think that they have/had the greatest players ever to play the game. Come back and argue the toss when you've won more than THREE grand slam in your 100+ years of rugby history.
@@fazertace6837 and I'll tell you to F off when ever I want. If you think paul o Connell is not world class then you haven't a clue. That's not an opinion that's a fact.
