We all know how ferocious Paul O'Connell is. We've seen countless gallerys, gifs and videos of his superhuman strength and astonishing leadership. We know that O'Connell isn't afraid of anything.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't look afraid. There are some amusing photos captured by the folks at Sportfile of Munster and Ireland legend Paul O'Connell looking less Chuck Norris and more Mrs. Norris
We're sorry in advance Paulie.

Paulie looking so scared he's running backwards:

He looks like he's scared to get tackled? That's not right

Scared of the backlash from the Namibian government after hammering their boys

He's seen something very disturbing

OH GOD

What has he seen?

Look at that nervous check over the shoulder?

That FACE

Need a close up on that FACE

It's not the opposition, but something behind - that must be it

That's just upsetting

NOPE

AAGH

AAAGGGGH

AAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

NOPE

Something horrifying must be coming

A ball?!

"I have a ball?!"

"You have the ball!"

Why is he tackling O'Connell?

What's that?

What's that over there?

"I can see it coming for me!"

How can anyone be so surprised by a ball?

So surprised

Another one!

Look at that face!

There's something about those balls

Or maybe it's a photographer!

Sweet Jesus, that damn ball again

Sorry Paulie
