Players to watch - Gareth Haggerty (Ireland)
Ireland prop Gareth Haggerty

At 6ft 3in and more than 19st, the 27-year-old prop is what rugby league insiders might call "a big unit".

Haggerty - the son of former St Helens forward Roy - has established himself as a key performer for Harlequins in Super League, frequently wreaking havoc against tiring defences from the bench.

And with great footwork and a surprising turn of pace for such a big man, Haggerty should be primed to prosper on the hard pitches out in Australia.

Other names to keep an eye on: Pat Richards; Michael Platt; Eamon O'Carroll
