David Kelly looks at the fallout from Munster lock Paul O'Connell's red card against the Ospreys in The Irish Independent.
"Paul O'Connell did not need the judgment of his peers to realise that Sunday's moment of madness offered as little wriggle room for escape as that afforded to the hapless, shirt-tugging Jonathan Thomas.
"But they were damning nonetheless, and their harsh scrutiny should mirror the post-mortem that will certainly be taking place behind closed doors within the Munster squad this week, as they prepare for their pivotal return clash with the Ospreys on Saturday.
"Indeed, Munster's Denis Leamy abruptly rejected any defence from his own camp by starkly outlining the bare facts of the matter yesterday."
