Ireland's Rugby Number 10
This is the story of Ireland’s rugby number 10 jersey as told by some of the international players who have proudly worn the iconic shirt.
The rugby number 10 is an iconic jersey and the players who have worn it have produced some of Irish rugby’s most famous sporting moments.
The number 10 in rugby is arguably the most important player on the pitch. They are the master tactician and the playmaker, the goal kicker and the person who calls the shots. The number 10 shirt carries responsibility, respect and a sense of prestige and the pressure is intense both on and off the pitch. It’s the Irish fascination with the selection of who should wear the number 10 shirt which has produced great debate across the decades and created some of the most intense rivalries in world sport, such as that between Ollie Campbell and Tony Ward or Ronan O’Gara and David Humphreys.
As the shirt is passed from one player to another and one generation to the next, we explore some of Ireland’s best ever number 10s, examine why the iconic shirt is so important and reflect on many of the most memorable moments in Irish rugby history. This is a fascinating story of Irish rugby, as told by some of Ireland’s greatest international players who have proudly worn the iconic number 10 shirt.
