Educated at St. Munchin’s College and University College Cork, Jerry Flannery made his Ireland senior debut as a replacement against Romania in November 2005.
Flannery crowned his first start and Six Nations debut against Italy in February 2006 with his first try.
Since then Flannery has vied with Rory Best for the number 2 spot with both players making a big contribution to ireland's 2009 Grand Slam success.
Injury has plagued the hooke in recent seasons and curtailed his involvement for Munster and Ireland.
