Ian Dowling After representing Ireland at Rugby League and impressing with AIL club side Shannon, Ian was hastily called into the Munster squad for the 2005/06 season where he quickly established himself in the starting team, producing many a memorable performance in Munster's first Heineken Cup winning season.

An extremely difficult opponent, Ian's tenacity and physical approach to the game have earned him the respect of many experienced international wings. A powerful runner and hard hitting defender Ian's well rounded skill set, the conviction with which he approaches everything he does combined with his low error rate make him one of the most consistent performers in Irish rugby.

Ian's contributions to Munster's succesful Heineken Cup and Magners League winning campaigns was rewarded with selection on Ireland's 2009 Summer Tour to North America where he made his senior Irish Rugby Union debut vs Canada
