IRELAND captain Paul O’Connell, whose contract is up at the end of this season, is still trying to figure out his future. The Munster lock has yet to put pen to paper on a new IRFU/Munster deal and with several clubs in France and England on the look out for international forwards, the lack of white smoke on a new contract for the Munster legend is worrying for Irish and Munster fans.

When asked this week if O’Connell would follow Conor Murray in signing a new two year deal with the IRFU, the former Munster captain replied, “Hopefully. I am trying to figure out my future at the moment. It is kind of delicate so it is not something I really want to discuss. I am delighted with the news that Conor has signed with us. He is a great player. A big player for us. He is a very modest and quiet fella.”
