PIC: A tale involving Paul O’Connell in a French hairdresser’s today had Ronan O’Gara in fits laughing

Ronan’s young fella knows that Paulie has little or no hair left, right?

Paul O’Connell unfortunately had to announce his retirement from rugby earlier this month, but his influence on Irish people young and old remains very much intact.

As if any proof of that was needed, Ronan O’Gara posted on Twitter about an amusing incident involving his son in a French hairdresser’s today, when his five-year old son put in a request that we imagine isn’t too commonly heard by barbers in France.

He must have been thinking about the good old days, when red hair was plentiful on O’Connell’s head.
