Stringer: 'There’ll never be another like Paul O’Connell'
Former Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer says 'there’ll never be another like Paul O’Connell,' after the Ireland captain was forced to retire from international rugby through injury.
O'Connell suffered a serious hamstring injury during his side's 24-9 victory over France at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
"What a captain he has been. He is the first second row I have played with who has been the complete player," Stringer told Jonathan Overend.
"I have never met anybody like him. He demands the highest of standards from everyone within an organisation to make sure the team succeeds. It is devastating for him to end his career like he has with this injury."
