See thatâs whatâs missing in Munster these days, dyed in the wool locals, full of pashun and carrying the risk of committing casual GBH (granted it happened on Ireland duty)
Fuck. That is horrendous.
That escalated quickly.
Fanny. The trauma lingering as you never got him back for it. Never dealt with it when had chances
Calling spoof too. If his heart stopped and genuinely needed cpr after a box to the head, he likely would not have been cleared to play again.
Seems a nice guy, easily mislead.
If your acting the gowl you should expect a box tbf
A guy knocked unconscious from a blind side hit and me rugby man is belittling of him
You can see how an Annabelleâs can happen all the same
Heâd been spoiling rucks all week, making a nuisance of himself. That was all fair enough - he was like me at the same age - but when he put me on the floor with a tackle in a non-contact session my went and I got up and threw a punch.
"I didnât think I hit him too hard, but my right hand struck the side of his face and he went down, unconscious. What I didnât know then was that one of his teeth had burst his cheek and he was swallowing a lot of blood.
"The rest of us had to move away when the team doctor, Gary OâDriscoll, rushed over to him.
"I kept looking over, from a distance, and the situation just kept getting worse and worse. Gary was trying to resuscitate him and he had blood all over his mouth. He was roaring for an ambulance. Then he started cutting the jersey off Ryan.
"I was shaking by the time the ambulance came to take him away. I was starting to fear the worst, and Iâm sure I wasnât the only one thinking that.
"The ambulance drove off and Eddie came across the pitch towards us.
"âWhatâs the story?â, I asked him.
âThe story is, you nearly killed himâ.â
OâConnell later referred to the incident as the 'worst moment of his career.

Looks like the guy went full Ashling ThompsonâŚwhich is never good.
From Paul O Connells own autobiography?
Hard to see Ryan landing a gig with any of the big four with those tattoos.

Doc being taken too literally with the ânearly killed himâ
I feel for Oconnell tbh. He wasnt to know your man was a fanny.
Youâre some stook. But Iâll accept your grovelling apology
Is he going a legal route with Paulie?
Be too traumatic. Decided on a nice neck tat instead

You would have to question people getting tattoos on their faces. There is a long list of examples of lads and lassies who are not right in the head, and do that.

Definitely not all the drugs. The single dig can be cited for all his woes (and shit taste in tattoos)
