Date of birth: 10/11/1976

Position: Second-Row

Test caps: 42

Test Debut: South Africa, 1998

Test Points: 5

Current Club: Ospreys

Strengths: Gough is a hulking player and is a more than useful ball carrier. He runs hard and at the heart of defences. Despite his size he is also a very mobile line out operator.

Weaknesses: It could be argued he is quite limited in what he offers. He carries the ball well but is a little too direct at times. He is also slightly on the short side in the line out.

Likely headline: Wales Gough it up in the dying moments
