Twenty-five year-old Leinster stalwart Caelan Doris is honoured to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Johnny Sexton and veteran Peter O’Mahony as he captains Ireland for the first time in their victory over Italy. Doris prefers to lead by example but understands the need for verbal and physical cues to motivate the team. He has previously captained teams at various levels and faced different circumstances in his recent captaincy role.

The 25-year-old prefers to lead by example but he understands that from time to time both verbal and physical cues are required to motivate a group. Doris has captained teams at various levels, national and provincial age-grade to Leinster senior status. Rare Ireland rotation leaves interesting selection discussion for Wales clash. During a match there is no time to reflect on such duties, just react, but on being named captain for last weekend’s game against Italy, Doris faced a different set of circumstances. By his own admission – speaking as a new brand ambassador for Lucozade Sport – the origin for any nerves he felt was a real desire to do the job well
