Craig Casey’s game is in a good place with Munster and Ireland.
DESPITE BEING PUT into a dangerous position by Stade Français lock Baptiste Pesenti at Thomond Park last weekend, Munster scrum-half Craig Casey could see the funny side.
“I was trying to get my hand to the ground but I couldn’t reach, so that’s how tall your man was,” says Casey. Advertisement Casey accepts that concussion is just “part and parcel of rugby” and says he was once knocked out in a Schools Senior Cup game for Ardscoil Rís. “When your mother is watching that from halfway across the globe and you’re on oxygen and stuff like that after what has happened in her family, I’d say that’s fairly harrowing. But I was grand.”Casey was obviously disappointed to miss the second Test in South Africa but has picked up where he left off this season, delivering fine form for province and country.
“I definitely feel like I’ve come on leaps and bounds and I’m probably showing that on the biggest stages consistently rather than in fits and bursts,” says Casey. “I got my chance in the Fiji game and that went well, then myself and the bench came on against Australia and it went well.” “There was probably that flip of the switch, it’s now my time to kick on and there’s only so much learning you can do, you actually need to do it.”
“I would say I have always felt calm in the stuff I was doing. I’d say it looked a bit more frantic to everyone else, but I will say that I always felt in control in my decision-making.
