A gentle giant off the pitch he is virtually impossible to stop on it as Leinster fans and players will attest when he played for Montpellier in a Champions Cup match earlier in the season; it's like trying to tackle a fast moving wardrobe. A superstar.

Age: 31
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 115kg (18st 2lbs)
Caps: 27

He is another to play his rugby with the Northampton Saints – so too loosehead prop Ma'afu – and is a fast, agile and very athletic secondrow.

5 Leone Nakarawa
Age: 29
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 122kg (19st 3lbs)
Caps: 45
Points: 50
One of the greats of the modern game, Irish supporters will recognise him from his time at the Glasgow Warriors and latterly Racing 92. He offloads like no other can, a phenomenal athlete.

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 111kg (17st 4lbs)
Caps: 35

Caps: 60
Points: 45
A much travelled flanker and stalwart of the Fiji team he started with the Pertemps Bees in England before joining Gloucester and playing there for seven seasons. He is now with Agen in France: a tough tackling, breakdown nuisance.

Height: 6'2
Weight: 110 kg (17st 4lbs)

Another to play his club rugby in France, he featured in last week's defeat to Italy.
