Dan Sheehan's Ireland and Leinster profile, built around a Test scoring return that marks him out among forwards.
International record
Test caps and points · Wikipedia infobox, 18 July 2026The story so far
Dan Sheehan has scored 90 points across 41 Test caps for Ireland, a return that frames the hooker as a scorer as well as a forward. Those numbers belong to a Leinster player operating in the United Rugby Championship, and they give Ireland a forward option whose international contribution is measured in more than appearances.
Sheehan's route to that Leinster and Ireland position began in 2020, when his senior club career in the United Rugby Championship started. A forward and a hooker, he has combined club rugby with the international game, and at twenty-seven he is still in the middle of his playing years. The Test cap and points totals are the essential reference points for his profile.
