    After finishing his degree in mechanical engineering at Dublin University, Jamie moved to the North side of the city where he turned out for Clontarf. Heaslip was named in the Ireland squad for the Guinness Autumn series in 2006 and made his test debut against the Pacific Islanders. He has the honour of being the 1000th player to wear the green of Ireland.

    A member of the 2009 Grand Slam winning team, Heaslip also impressed when he was chosen to play for the Lions during the 2009 tour to South Africa. His ball carrying ability and uncompromising style have saw him cement his place in the Ireland No8 jersey where his most recent outing was against South Africa during the 2009 November tests.

    His good form continued into the 2010 Six Nations where he was superb in the Irish backrow putting in a man of the match performance against England in Ireland's third test of the campaign.
