Here Is Actual Proof That Paul O’Connell Is The Soundest Man Alive

Paul O'Connell is a legend here in Ireland and abroad, and nobody disputes it.

But every now and again he drops us a little reminder that he is the soundest lad out there.

When he retired from rugby, a nation collectively wept, and he left the pitch with the full weight of the nation's respect and pride on his shoulders.

Last night, he adorned the couch of The Late Late Show, and showed us all what a class act he really is.

Its quite something that Paul O Connell can reach the height of fame/glory/success that he has AND still remain so humble & modest #latelate
