Our three nominees for the Ireland's Greatest Openside of the Professional Era all fronted up for their country.
Over a six year period, Munster's David Corkery was as close to an ever-present in the Irish set-up as you could get. Bristling, abrasive and a menacing figure with ball-in-hand and a head of steam built up. Scored three tries in 27 Tests, including a memorable dot down in a Five Nations win over Wales.
The youngest of rugby-mad Limerick brothers, David Wallace served his country with distinction. Scored 12 tries in 72 Tests and was integral in Ireland's 2009 Grand Slam win. Was a British & Irish Lions tourist in 2001 and played all three Tests of the 2009 tour.
Sean O'Brien made his Ireland debut in 2009 and will earn his 37th cap against England [two Tests for the Lions]. Injuries have denied him 50 caps but it is only a matter of time before The Tullow Tank steams beyond that marker. A beast at the breakdown and the biggest attacking threat in Ireland's pack.
