Here’s a look at what the good people on Twitter had to say about O’Connell’s recently announced move to Toulon.
The news broke earlier today, read about it here, so here’s just some of what the Twittersphere had to say.
Farewell Paul O'Connell. Let's see if your fair skin and ginger hair can cope with the unrelenting French sunshine. Biggest career challenge

Will be strange to see Paul O'Connell in a Toulon jersey but if there was ever a player who deserved to see out his career there, it's him.

Paul O'Connell signed his two-year Toulon contract on Sunday. The great man has a special final chapter ahead.

Rumour has it, #Toulon didn't have anyone brave enough to tell #Paulie the move was off. So it was easier to sign him. #rugby #Top14
