Very few people can command the respect of every single one of their peers and fans alike but Paul O'Connell has always been something special. Irish rugby fans, regardless of their province, adored O'Connell because his values in the green jersey represented the very best of what rugby is about. Leadership, bravery, loyalty, skill, desire, integrity and an unshakable will to win are just some of the attributes that the Munster icon possessed and frequently showed while playing for Ireland. Our captain may have played his last game in the green jersey but he will never be forgotten. Here's hoping he gets himself fit and does what he does best for Toulon. https://twitter.com/damien_omeara/status/653864487020298240 https://twitter.com/Munsterrugby/status/653867287317991424 https://twitter.com/rugbyworldcup/status/653866369113526272 https://twitter.com/GAAGO/status/653866649716703232 https://twitter.com/sportsfile/status/637665265531138048 https://twitter.com/Inphosports/status/637651270086590465 https://twitter.com/OLSCRugby/status/637648014132269056 https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/653864667224346624 https://twitter.com/jasonmohammad/status/653866340843974656 https://twitter.com/MRSC16/status/653866608302100480 https://twitter.com/NaRuagairi/status/653868729818849280 https://twitter.com/TommyMartinTV3/status/653866102649417728 https://twitter.com/ascomphone/status/653868507034202113
