Sherry: New Munster wave can be special too

Having burst onto the Irish rugby scene in the 2010/11 season, the last two years have been slow burners for Mike Sherry. At 25, the Munster man is focused on becoming the best hooker in Ireland and winning trophies with his province.

Sherry made his first international appearance this summer, coming off the bench with three minutes remaining against the US. And while he says it was nice to get a first cap, he accepted that the tour was an unsatisfying one overall.

“I was very disappointed not to add to that first cap in the second week [against Canada], but that’s the way it goes. You’re trying to keep everyone involved and I appreciate that. Sean Cronin and Richardt Strauss are very good players as well so while I was very disappointed, I understand where he [Les Kiss] was coming from.
