"We'll see," Farrell commented. "I’m sure other lads will have their say as well. I thought Harry Byrne came on and did pretty well and Jack Carty is doing very well. Billy Burns was really disappointed not to be here as well and they will go back to their clubs now."On the latest House of Rugby URC episode [LISTEN from 2:30 below] former Ireland forward Mike McCarthy joined Greg O'Shea and Megan Williams discussed Carbery's positive impact and what it means, heading into the 2022 Six Nations.

"Fair play to Joey, especially after getting so much stick the last couple of weeks. People were like, 'Oh, he's not up for it, like Harry Byrne, Ross Byrne, Jack Carty should be in.' "Where Joey just needed time to come back just needed time to come back He was out for nearly two seasons... it was a ruthless performance and I was chuffed to see Joey get a good shift against a quality team. Like, everyone's talking about someone stepping up after Johnny. And look, we hope Johnny stays fit for the World Cup because he's immense. But he's 36. "Someone needs to step up like Sexton did with ROG in 2009. So, when he steps up and essentially says, I'm next in line for the jersey. Joey's performance was brilliant. It was great to see him come on against the All Blacks and see the game out. Three great kicks, one from the halfway line, and just steering the team around the park.""He was just making breaks for fun," Mike McCarthy noted, "so I think he's back to where he is, or used to be before he got hurt. And now the club game in the next couple of months is going to be massive for those guys to keep putting our hands up for the Six Nations then coming." It's back to work for Munster now, and Carbery will be pushing on now to get the starts in the big European and inter-provincial games. He is in Johnny Sexton's slipstream now, and surely primed to break that odd Six Nations stat. WATCH THAT HOUSE OF RUGBY EPISODE:
