IRELAND CAPTAIN PAUL O’CONNELL will earn his 100th Test cap in Chaco, Argentina this evening when he leads Ireland out to face the Pumas [19:40 kick-off].
The lock has, thus far, appeared for Ireland 92 times and the British & Irish Lions on seven occasions. He has scored six tries and, in March, he captained his country to the Six Nations title.
O’Connell won his first cap for Ireland in 2002 and was on the scoresheet after a rolling maul rocked the visitors. Check it out here:

When Paul O’Connell jumps in a pool, he doesn’t get wet. The water gets Paul O’Connelled.
Absolute legend. We have been lucky enough in recent times to have the likes of POC, ROG and BOD. True world class players.
We have been blessed alright, in the last 15 years we’d had some Heros alright
Chuck Norris has a poster of poc in his bedroom
He can’t remember scoring this try. He was concussed early in the match and didn’t ‘come around’ until about half time. Pretty worrying. http://balls.ie/rugby/paul-oconnell-knocked-still-scored-try/
