Ireland has produced legendary props across eras, from the foundational figures like Syd Millar in the 1950s-60s to modern greats like Cian Healy and Andrew Porter. Mid-period icons like Phil Orr and Peter Clohessy established Ireland's scrum dominance in the 1980s-90s, while contemporary props combine scrummaging excellence with improved mobility and ball-handling skills compared to their predecessors.
