Video: Paul O’Connell laying the law down the law as sales assistant

At the start of the campaign Paul O’Connell and some of his Munster colleagues showed their skills as sales assistants, and the outtakes are pretty good.

The Munster legend was joined by Keith Earls and Conor Murray as Adidas put the boys to work in a retail environment, and they tried their best to warm to the task, though the scrum-half felt aggrieved that he was on the clock until 6pm!

This week the lads, minus the injured Earls, are busy preparing for their Heineken Cup quarter-final game against Conor O’Shea’s Harlequins, but this video shows the lads in some funny out-takes from their day in very different roles from what they are used to.

O’Connell seems a bit of a natural in the role and demonstrates his leadership skills in keeping Earls and Murray on their toes.

He will have a much bigger job on his hands on Saturday at the Stoop, but we enjoyed it nonetheless, especially when the Irish international shows a ruthless streak to the noisy young child in the shop!
