Denis Hickie was awarded with a call up to the Lions Tour of New Zealand after an impressive 2005 Championship with Ireland.
The two-time Triple Crown winner played a big role in all but one of the successful midweek games in 2005, winning against Taranaki, Otago, Southland and Auckland.
Hickie, a former Leinster winger, was one of 12 Irish players out of the 44-man squad and with strong competition for places he was unable to force his way into the Test matches against New Zealand.
He won 62 caps for his country and held the Irish try-scoring record with 29 tries before Brian O’Driscoll broke it in 2008.
