The Meath second row made his Leinster debut in 2006 and has since gone on to win 3 European cups while representing Irelands 42 times.
Meanwhile, Ireland's women's team have lost their first two games at the Dubai sevens.
They were defeated 24-14 by France while earlier they were beaten 27-5 by New Zealand.
The Irish face Fiji later today but their chances of progression in the main draw are virtually gone.
