Paddy Wallace Bio
Paddy Wallace was a flamboyant and versatile player who represented Ulster almost 200 times. As well as being a legend at the province, Paddy Wallace was also capped by his country on 30 occasions.
Paddy Wallace began playing rugby when he was young. By the end of his teenage years, he’d already begun to rise to national prominence and he was a member of the Ireland U19 side that lifted the U19 Rugby World Cup in 1998. In the tournament, he played alongside a young Brian O'Driscoll.
In the 2001-02 season, Paddy Wallace broke into the first team at Ulster and put in a number of impressive performances. These were the first of many, as he continued to represent the Irish province for the entirety of his domestic career. In total, between 2001 and 2014, he represented Ulster 189 times and scored 411 points in the process. During this time, he won the Celtic Cup in 2004 and the Celtic League (now the PRO14) in 2006.
Thanks to his impressive performances for Ulster over the years, Paddy Wallace was called up to represent Ireland 30 times between 2006 and 2012. The highlight of his international career undoubtedly came in 2009, when he was a member of the Ireland squad that won the Grand Slam at the Six Nations Championship.
Since his retirement from the game in 2014, Paddy Wallace has held a number of ambassadorial roles. He now owns his own rugby academy and works as a financial advisor.
