Daddy Donncha back in training

Munster lock Donncha O’Callaghan was back training yesterday after the birth of his second child in the early hours of Saturday morning.

O’Callaghan withdrew from the Munster team to play Benetton Treviso on Friday at Thomond Park following the admission of wife Jenny to Cork University Hospital. Daughter Anna was born a few hours later, the couple’s second child.
