A WISE — YET sometimes slightly forgetful — old man once told me: get a job doing something you love and you won’t work a day in your life.
To us, Paul O’Connell looks like someone who’s heeded that advice too.
This week the Ireland talisman is in camp with his British and Irish Lions team-mates in Carton House. And look how much craic he’s having.
Today, he got to…
‘Nine hundred and ninety nine….’
‘It’s my ball and I’m going home!’
It’s like when the steam room breaks in your local gym cos of lads messing with the sensor. Again.

Look how much fun Paul O'Connell had at Lions training today

Today, he got to…
Attend the gun show with Dan Lydiate
‘Nine hundred and ninety nine….’
Get stuck in outside
‘It’s my ball and I’m going home!’
Show off his lifting technique
Wear a funny suit and experience sub-zero temperatures
