In 1960 he made his international debut as a 21-year-old for Ireland against England and, two years later, toured South Africa with the Lions. He went one better in 1968, captaining the Lions on tour and in four tests against the Springboks. The first Irishman to win 50 caps, he also led his country a record 24 times, and later became national coach and then president. |
