O’Callaghan lines out after beloved grandmother dies

HEARTBROKEN Donncha O’Callaghan lined out for Ireland in New Zealand today just a day after being told his beloved grandmother had died.

Joan Roche, 85, died on Thursday at the South Infirmary/Victoria University Hospital in Cork after a short illness.

Donncha’s mother Marie — the eldest of Joan’s four daughters — said that the towering lock had been informed and had decided he would still play in today’s crunch Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Wales.
