No back injury relapse for O'Connell

A statement released by the Irfu has stated that Ireland and Munster second row Paul O'Connell has not had a relapse in his recovery from a back injury and continues to progress well in his rehabilitation programme.

An earlier report suggesting O'Connell was out of the rest of the Six Nations was incorrectly sent to media outlets.

It was in fact the same statement that was sent on January 12 relating to O'Connell's injury and was posted in error this time around.
