O'Connell determined to feature in Ulster clash

Paul O’Connell is hopeful he can complete his rehabilitation in time for Munster’s Heineken Cup quarter-final against Ulster in four week's time after suffering a knee injury in Ireland’s 17-17 draw with France last weekend.

O’Connell played the entire 80 minutes in Paris on Sunday despite picking up the injury and a scan after the match revealed that he had suffered medial ligament damage, ruling him out of the remaining two RBS Six Nations games of the season.
