Limerick Council have erected a massive billboard in the city to wish good luck to former Munster captain Paul O'Connell.

The Limerick native played his last game for the province in the Pro12 final loss to Glasgow at the end of last season. He is expected t o be confirmed as a Toulon player before the World Cup this Autumn.

The City Council want fans to show their appreciation to O'Connell for what he has done for Munster and Limerick by using #ThanksPaulie on social media.
