A rock solid second row, dependable in the lineout and a real 80-minute performer, MICK O'DRISCOLL has played over 130 times for Munster including a number of games in their two Heineken Cup-winning campaigns.

The big Corkman was a member of Ireland's 2009 Grand Slam-winning squad but failed to get any game-time, with his last senior cap before this tour coming against England in the 2008 RBS 6 Nations.

A teak-tough player who has captained his province on many occasions, he spent two seasons with French club Perpignan and used that experience to good effect, pushing again for selection for Munster and Ireland. He recently signed a new two-year deal with the 2008 Heineken Cup champions and remains one of Irish rugby's best locks.
