Both Brian O’Hara and Dave O’Callaghan hail from Cork and at 19 years of age they have featured for Munster Under-20s, Irish Schools and are currently involved in the Ireland Under-20 squad.
Openside flanker O’Hara played his schools rugby with PBC and now plays for UL Bohemians where he studies business.
