After an extended period away from the game due to injury, Paul O’Connell made it out onto the pitch at Thomond Park on Friday night as part of the Young Munster squad.
He joined the team for prematch warm-up, before joining the subs bench for the first half.
The tracksuit came off for the second half as he took his place in the All-Ireland League game against Shannon.

We celebrate the big man’s return to fitness in pictures.
