Donncha O'Callaghan endured a nightmare World Cup but his remarkable workrate helped Munster secure a vital bonus point in Sunday's 26-19 Heineken Cup defeat by Clermont Auvergne.

O'Connell's injury setback is a massive blow to Ireland but O'Callaghan's display on Sunday will have been a source of some comfort to Eddie O'Sullivan.
