Two legends for province and country.
Truth be told, there aren’t enough tributes, accolades and superlatives to be said about Munster and Ireland icon Paul O’Connell because if anyone deserves them, it’s him.
One man that knows the Ireland captain better than most is his close friend and former teammate Ronan O’Gara.
While playing together at Munster, both men were absolute generals on the pitch and had a huge role in guiding the province to 2 Heineken Cups and 3 Celtic Leagues during that era.
Their glittering career stretched into the international arena as ROG and POC were part of the famous Grand Slam winning team in ’09 while also adding 3 more Triple Crowns.
O’Connell will now be joining his former teamamte in the Top 14 and his tribute is absolutely perfect.
My sadness is tinged with absolute pride having spent 16 years with one of Rugby's greatest competitors.#gentleman #Leader #1ofakind
