The 2001 World Player of the Year becomes the 7th Irish entrant...

In the list of modern Irish rugby legends they don't come much bigger or influential than former Irish hooker Keith Wood. The former Harlequins and Munster man was capped 58 times for Ireland, 36 times as skipper, and scored 15 tries which still remains a record for a hooker. Wood is the seventh Irish player to be included in the IRB Hall of Fame, joining Jack Kyle (2008), Willie John McBride, Syd Millar, Tony O'Reilly (all 2009), Mike Gibson (2010) and Ronnie Dawson (2013). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDeDPFiiQbw We still have unbelievably fond memories of this try in particular from the Killaloe man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7HvT-OREoM Clip via - Conor Ryan
