Strengths – Arguably the best openside flanker outside of the southern hemisphere, Wally possesses truly electric pace, strong legs, and an ability to snaffle anything around the fringes or floor.
Weaknesses – Tough to find any for the Munster seven but at a push his creativity with ball in hand could be improved.
Likely headline(s) – Great big Wally.
Honours in the game – Munster HEC 2006, 2008 Triple Crown 2004, 2006, 2007. British and Irish Lions.
Did you know? – The third Wallace brother to play for Ireland and the Lions, but for injury Wallace might have had 60 caps by now. He has played in all three back-row positions for Munster and amazingly, also on the wing!
