Former Munster and Ireland hooker Jerry Flannery returned to the fold at the start of season 2014/15 after retiring from the game in March 2012.

Life after rugby saw the Grand Slam winning player complete a Masters in Sports Performance at the University of Limerick before joining Premiership outfit Arsenal in 2013 for work placement as strength and conditioning coach.

With 94 Munster caps and 41 Ireland caps to his name the Limerick-man will also work closely with the academy and provincial age-grade squads.
