Three lengthy injury-enforced absences have hindered Wallace's international development. He only played in five games for Ireland until returning to start in the Triple Crown victory over Scotland — scoring a vital try in the process — and both Tests in 2004 against South Africa.He did not return again to the Irish side until the second Test against Japan in June 2005, where he scored his fourth international try.
His form for Munster saw him earn a recall to the Irish set-up in 2006. He was present during the 6 Nations and the summer tour in June. He is currently the favoured open-side flanker having played all five Six Nations games in 2006 and starting all five in 2007, scoring a try against England.
Wallace scored the fourth try in Munster’s win over Sale in the 2005/6 Heineken Cup to take the Irish province into a home quarter-final against Perpignan. Munster subsequently won the cup.
