“[Ireland captain] Paul O’Connell will undergo surgery on his torn hamstring this week and will not play again at the World Cup. Ireland has called up Mike McCarthy to replace O’Connell.”
Seán O’Rourke on RTÉ moments ago.

Careful you don’t cut yourself on all that edge.
You don’t watch Curb then.
I just welled up. What a dude! Hope he makes it to Toulon, would love to see him play with some of those players.
Maybe re-evaluate your life.
Ok
I hope Toulon still honours his contract.
it’s only a torn hamstring but must be pretty bad if it needs surgery
A torn hamstring is a generalisation.
If it is a severe tear of the upper hamstring there is no “only”. Its potentially career threatening for a guy of his age.
Thanks Doctor C
What are your opening hours?
Hi, physiotherapist here, C is right. “hamstring tear” is very ambiguous and could certainly be career ending.
He could be out for 6 months or more.
I had it myself recently, it took me about three months to make a full recovery.
Roysh.
This bandwagon is heaving.
It’s not, we all disembarked in Warsaw on Sunday evening.
There’s a bandwagon for those who feel the need to make pointless snide remarks about rugby too.
Not half as many though. Everyone on RTE seems to be making rugby references (regardless of the programme being broadcast) in a desperate attempt to be seen to be of a certain social class. It’s pathetic.
“a certain social class”.
The 80’s called. They want their stereotype back.
Or they’re supporting a national team in a sport we’re actually good at.
that video isn’t a great representation, to be honest
Man plays dangerous game and gets injured.
:'(
Oh Paulie, My Paulie.
I didn’t see the great man go down as the barman was shouting at me to collect two pints I had ordered. That picture is hard to view. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and makes it to Toulon.
