O’Connell trying to avoid Heineken Cup hype

Munster's Paul O'Connell says he is trying to avoid the hype in the build-up to the Heineken Cup semi-final against Leinster at Croke Park on Saturday.

The club captain says the buzz is growing around his native Limerick in anticipation of the clash at GAA headquarters.

However, he says he has learned how to get away from the mayhem and focus on the task ahead.
