Smal: O'Callaghan reminds me of Springbok Botha

Ireland forwards coach Gert Smal has said that Irish second-row Donncha O'Callaghan reminds him of South Africa's Bakkies Botha.

Smal knows the South African pairing of Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha better than most as he an ex-Springbok coach, and he believes that the Paul O’Connell-Donncha O’Callaghan axis is more than capable of matching the World Cup winners.
