#RWC2015 Diary: O’Connell was always good craic, declares Henshaw

Ireland will miss Paul O’Connell’s off-the-cuff stand-up comedy just as much as his originality in pre-match war cries, according to Robbie Henshaw.

O’Connell’s World Cup and Test career both came to a close on Tuesday when Ireland confirmed their captain must undergo surgery on a torn hamstring.

Connacht centre Henshaw explained how O’Connell could step straight from a tear-jerking team talk to a sharp-witted quip.
