Michael Paul O'Callaghan (1936 — 15 April 2018) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Cork-native O'Callaghan was a prop who lacked the height traditionally required for the position, but was quick around the pitch. He played his club rugby for Sundays Well, London Irish and Young Munster.[1]
O'Callaghan was capped three times for Ireland, debuting in a draw against Wales at Lansdowne Road during the 1962 Five Nations. His other two caps came in away 1964 Five Nations matches against England and France.[1]
A Munster representative, O'Callaghan was one of their best performers in a narrow loss to the touring All Blacks in 1963, playing the majority of the match with his head stitched and covered in bandages.[2] He was also in the Munster side that beat the touring Australian team in 1967.[1] [3]
O'Callaghan was an electrical contractor by profession.[1]
