O’Callaghan: ’Axel right man at right time’

Donncha O’Callaghan believes Anthony Foley is the right man to take Munster forward and will help heal ‘the scars’ of losing two semi-finals as the province reflects on going a third successive season without silverware.

Rob Penney was hopeful of signing off with a famous Heineken Cup-Pro 12 double but defeats by Toulon and Glasgow ensured Munster’s season ended in bitter disappointment.

And while O’Callaghan admits he was devastated by the defeats, the 35-year-old has given a ringing endorsement to Foley, who was his team-mate between 1998 and 2008.
