NEIL DOAK

Born: 21.06.72
Height: 5ft 9in
Weight: 12st 2lb
Position: Scrum-half
Club: Ulster
Caps: 0
Points: 0

The only uncapped member of the squad, Doak looked likely to miss out to Leinster's Brian O'Meara in the race to be the third specialist scrum-half.

But once he proved his fitness after shoulder surgery, the Ulster man was Eddie O'Sullivan's selection.

An experienced campaigner, the Ireland A regular is likely to spend much - if not all - of the tournament on the sidelines but is a capable understudy for Peter Stringer and Guy Easterby.
