Lions Watch - Paul O'Connell
Paul O'Connell soars to win a line-out

The Munster talisman produced an awesome performance, destroying the Welsh line-out, rampaging around the pitch and putting his name firmly in the frame for the Lions captaincy.

Whereas second row partner O'Callaghan is all wild passion, O'Connell plays with the intense focus of a true leader and his display at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday capped a superb tournament.

O'Connell relishes a contest and his big-match temperament was evident for all to see at the heart of a fired-up Irish pack.

VERDICT: Welcome aboard, captain.
