O’Connell ‘saw it coming’

That was Paul O’Connell’s simple analysis of yesterday’s magnificent display in Perpignan. O’Connell’s personal contribution was immense he led his much maligned side to a famous win. Unlike so many others, he claimed that he saw it coming but even he was amazed they departed the Stade Aime Giral with a bonus point try.

“Certainly from where we’ve been coming, it’s a great feeling to finally get back to a real Munster performance”, he glowed.
