PAUL WALLACE is a former Irish Rugby player, considered world class by commentators, fans and his fellow players alike.
Paul has a unique profile, not just in Ireland, but in the UK and across the international rugby scene - having been one of the top ranked players in the world, he is now a well respected commentator across National and International Television, Radio and print. Throughout September and October this year, Paul's face will be seen by millions of viewers in the UK and Ireland as the sole representative of Irish rugby on ITV's Rugby World Cup coverage - he will also join Matt Cooper in the TV3 studio for their coverage of the tournament. Paul's younger brother David plays for Munster and is a member of the Irish Squad for the World Cup. His older brother Richard retired from International rugby in 1999.
In addition to his media and speaking commitments, Paul works fulltime for International property company, Jones Lang La Salle, dealing in international property acquisitions for some of Irelands most high profile businessmen - which gives him a unique insight into the business world.
Paul is an excellent speaker, articulate, modest about his achievements, but full of good humour and stories. His strength of character and integrity as a player have followed through into this next phase of his career
