IRFU to land €15m kit deal

[shazbooger]

In the Times today, Thornley mentioned that O'Connell couldnt talk the first time they tried to talk to him as D'Arcy let quite an audible ripper loose before the questions came at him. Everytime he tried to answer a question he jsut started giggling again, so they had to go talk to BOD instead.

I think that explains O'Connells face at the start while Brian was doing the talking. He looks like he is barely recovering from the laughing fit.

Wheeled out first were Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll, but – already discommoded by O'Gara having his shorts on backwards – just as the heroic Lions captain was being asked his first question, he heard Gordon D'Arcy – how shall we put this – break wind.

O'Connell simply broke down laughing, and though the questioner tried to change the line of questioning regarding the new kit, every time O'Connell tried to talk he cracked up again – three times in all before the microphone was turned to O'Driscoll. It will be on YouTube for years.[/b]
