Ireland Against Italy In Rugby World Cup

Share:    

Ireland scrumhalf Tomas O'Leary could miss all his country's November test

matches after a thumb injury ruled him out for six to eight weeks, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) said on Thursday. Munster's O'Leary, denied a place on last year's British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa through injury, will also miss the former European club champions' opening Heineken Cup match against London Irish on Saturday. Ireland face South Africa, Samoa, New Zealand and Argentina in home matches next month, the last time they will get to face southern hemisphere opposition before next year's World Cup in New Zealand.

The Ireland Rugby Union Team represents the island of Ireland (both Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) in rugby union. The team competes annually in the Six Nations Championship (which they have won eleven times outright and shared eight times) and every four years in the Rugby World Cup, where they have been eliminated at the quarter-final stage in all but two competitions (1999 and 2007). Ireland is also one of the four unions which make up the British and Irish Lions - players eligible to play for Ireland are also eligible for the Lions. Eight former Ireland players have earned induction into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, with four of them also having earned induction into the IRB Hall of Fame.

Outside centre Brian O'Driscoll, the current captain and Ireland's current all-time leader in both tries and appearances, is considered one of the best rugby players in the world and led Ireland to only their second Grand Slam in March 2009. He was also captain of the Lions on their 2005 tour of New Zealand, although his on-field captaincy was cut short by a controversial injury in the Lions' first Test. O'Driscoll was succeeded as Lions captain for their 2009 tour of South Africa by his current teammate, lock Paul O'Connell. Keith Wood, O'Driscoll's predecessor as Ireland captain before retiring in 2003, was the inaugural IRB International Player of the Year in 2001.
