Where are they now? By Des Berry PAUL O'DONOHOE THEN: THE CLONTARF SCRUM-HALF MADE 18 APPEARANCES FOR LEINSTER IN THREE SEASONS FROM 2009 TO 2011. NOW: PAUL LIVES AND WORKS IN LONDON AS THE EXECUTIVE VICE- CHAIRMAN AT JOE MEDIA. The greatest day in the history of <strong>Leinster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> didn’t turn out too great for Paul O’Donohoe. The Leicester Tigers had just been declawed, the ‘Holy Grail’ that was the Heineken Cup captured for the first time in 2009. The 21-year-old had spent the whole occasion in his suit, taking in more than the sun. Nigel Owens’ final whistle was the signal for a riotous celebration, part outpouring of buttoned-up emotion, part relief to have finally turned promise into achievement. There in the middle of the party was O’Donohoe, the rookie scrum-half behind Chris Whittaker and Chris Keane. Two years later, he was on his way west to Connacht after just three seasons, seven starts and 18 caps. The seeds for his migration were sown, in some part, later into that ground-breaking evening when the entertainer inside of O’Donohoe landed him on the wrong side of coach Michael Cheika. He takes up the story: “Everyone was on cloud nine. I thought I was Floyd Mayweather walking around Edinburgh in the suit. From The Ground Up | 62 | www.leinsterrugby.ie
