An incredible milestone for a man who has been a pillar of the front row for over a decade. With 11 consecutive seasons of first team rugby, Niall’s consistency and dedication are second to none.

His scrummaging technique is top-class, and his ability to churn out 80‑minute shifts week in, week out as a prop is nothing short of phenomenal.

A true senior figure in the squad, Bean sets the standard every time he pulls on the jersey.

Here’s to 200 caps — and plenty more to come.

Well done, Bean!
