AUDIO: Anthony Foley Pays Tribute to Paul O'Connell
Munster Head Coach Anthony Foley has weighed in on the tributes to Ireland Captain Paul O'Connell after the premature end to his International career.
The Ireland captain requires surgery on a significant hamstring injury suffered in Sunday's win over France in Cardiff.
The second row won 108 Ireland caps since his 2002 debut, winning three Six Nations titles.
Mike McCarthy today joined the squad as O'Connell's replacement.
