Sir Ian McGeechan selects five unlikely 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.”
