Out-half Charlie O’Shea is in his first year in the Munster Rugby Academy and made his senior debut for the province against Leicester Tigers in September.

A UCC clubman and former Dolphin RFC underage player, he captained CBC to the Pinergy Munster Schools Senior Cup title in 2025.

O’Shea featured in all five games of Ireland’s U20 Six Nations campaign in 2026 and represented Ireland at the World Rugby U20 Championship, scoring a hat-trick against the USA.

He made an impressive first competitive start for Munster against the Bulls in October, scoring two tries and earning Player of the Match honours.
