DONNACHA O'CALLAGHAN

Born: 23.03.79
Height: 6ft 6in
Weight: 15st 4lb
Position: Lock
Club: Munster
Caps: 5
Points: 0

O'Callaghan's rise to the Ireland senior squad has been something of an inevitability since he shone in the Ireland Under-19 side that won the World Youth Championship in 1998.

After spells in the Under-21s, Under-25s and A teams, he made his senior debut as a replacement against Wales earlier this year and has gone on to win five caps in the second row.

A tremendously physical player, the 24-year-old lock looks to have a long international future ahead of him.
