Clohessy captained the team on Williams' debut. Galwey started nearly every game that season and all of the HEC games right up to the final. Williams captained once or twice at most throughout the season.

Googling confirms this. I apologise. I heard Jim Williams comment that his first Munster start he was captain. But he did not take over until the following July.

No longer a guaranteed starter if McKeon keeps up his form.

Can play second row too, so if Clarke is playing and Swift is out or whatever, he can slot in. Also, Sean O'Brien could be pushing for backrow/second row positions next year.

Carried away a bit there with young O Brien

He's only out of school and will be u20 next year. The year after maybe if he keeps committed.

Henshaw is an exception to the rule, particularly because he's a back
