O’Connell returns to rally Munster teammates

Munster coach Rob Penney said Paul O’Connell had been floating around.

Less than 72 hours after leading Ireland to the RBS Six Nations title, Paul O’Connell was unofficially back in the Munster camp lending his considerable weight to planning procedures for the upcoming assault on Rabodirect Pro12 and Heineken Cup titles.

Munster head coach Rob Penney was happy O’Connell turned up to watch the training session at the University of Limerick yesterday: “Paul has been floating around,” said the coach when asked about the availability of the three Munster heroes from Paris last weekend, O’Connell, Conor Murray and Peter O’Mahony.
