About Paul O'Connell
Paul Jeremiah O'Connell is an Irish rugby union coach and former player. When he retired, he was Ireland's third most-capped player (108) and the eighteenth most-capped international player in rugby union history. During his career, O'Connell captained Munster, Ireland and the British & Irish Lions. He is now the forwards coach for the Ireland national men's team. Despite scoring this try, O'Connell has no recollection of the first half, recalling: "I scored a try but I don't remember it. I didn't really know what was going on and so I walked off the pitch."

His Heineken Cup debut for the club came in a home fixture against Castres Olympique which Munster won 28-23.
