Paul O'Connell Gets Congratulations From An Unexpected Source

Jerry Flannery is no longer at Arsenal but the impression he left with the players who he worked with during his time at the Emirates as a strength and conditioning coach appears to have been more than a physical one.

The Munster man also seems to have instilled an interest in rugby. Lukas Podolski, currently on loan from Arsenal at Inter Milan, tweeted his congratulations for Paul O'Connell on the occasion of his 100th cap.

Congratulations @Paul_OConnell for your 100th cap with @IrishRugby today #100Club #KeepyUppyKing #ForzaCookies #SUAF #poldi #rugby
