The Lions forward took over from Peter O'Mahony in the role last year
New Munster head coach Clayton McMillan says Eadestown Tadhg Beirne is likely to remain the province's captain this season.
The Lions forward took over from Peter O'Mahony in the role last year and McMillan says Beirne should be back for their trip to Leinster in round four of the URC.
He's also praised the leadership qualities shown by Craig Casey with Ireland this summer, and feels the scrum-half is also captain material.
