“He offers something different” – Sir Ian McGeechan picks his five Lions bolters

5. Paul O’Connell

MCGEECHAN SAID: “Finally, I’d also have a coaching bolter. Paul O’Connell is a former Lions captain who has proved that he can bring an immediate and dramatic improvement to a lineout. His transformation of the Irish forwards was hugely impressive so he’d be one of the first names in my coaching group.”

DID YOU KNOW? He attended the Model School and Ardscoil Rís, Limerick where he initially excelled at swimming and only started playing rugby at the age of 16
