O’Connell Out?
Paul O’Connell of Munster is unlikely to be available for selection during the initial stages of the RBS 6 Nations 2008.
This is due to a setback during his rehabilitation from back injury, O’Connell has not played rugby since the Rugby World Cup and it was hoped he would play for Munster in the Heineken Cup, but the setback ruled that out.
The initial squad will be named on Tuesday, but it is unlikely O’Connell will feature in (at least the early stages) of the tournament.
