Jerry Flannery glad to be back at Munster

Jerry Flannery enjoyed an outstanding career as a hooker with UCC, Shannon, Galwegians, Connacht, Munster, and Ireland, and completed his Masters in Sports Performance when he received a welcome call from an old friend and team mate.

“Injury had forced my retirement in March 2012 as a player and so I did a Masters in Sports Performance and attained all the strength and conditioning qualifications before working over in the Canadian Rugby Union and then a year at Arsenal,” he recalled.

“And then I got a phone call from Anthony (Foley) about coming back to Munster. He said: ‘If you’re interested, I’m going to put your name forward as scrummaging coach’.”
