One of Ireland's greatest ever rugby players Paul O'Connell has been forced to hang up his boots.

He has an honours list that includes a Grand Slam, four Triple Crowns, two Six Nations championships, two European Cups, three League titles and a Celtic Cup with Munster and Ireland.

He suffered a significant hamstring avulsion during Ireland’s World Cup campaign.

The injury was obviously worse than first believed and so the 108-capped second row was forced to end his career before every having the opportunity to line out at the Stade Mayol with his new club Toulon.

Paul Wallace, Eddie O’Sullivan and Peter O’Mahony look back on Paul O'Connell's extraordinary career.
