Joey Carbery’s role in question as Munster go for Champions Cup spot via IrishTimesSport
“Yeah, absolutely it has been very tough for him, very tough,” says Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast. “He has taken it as well as he can in terms of being a professional and getting on with his job. Even at training and meetings he’s still speaking in a positive manner, which is a really good sign of the type of the guy he is.
Carbery brings a wealth of experience to the position and has been capped 37 times. But form, not history, is currency and the player’s confidence is not just a national rugby question but, closer to home, an issue that Munster need to try to solve for their own welfare and that of their outhalf. Cold and tactical is how professional rugby operates. But Munster is not entirely devoid of less ruthless instincts and looking out for players in all their needs seems the sensible approach.
“Look, on the way down we were a wounded animal, I suppose, in terms of our previous performance against the Sharks. We played Sharks two weeks ago and obviously there was a lot of hurt coming into the Stormers game and in terms of our performance we are still hurting from that,” he says.
