"I like the look of Joey back there," says O'Shea, "as he's so creative, he has such a good step, and he sees gaps. "When Ben Healy went in at 10, I thought it worked well... for these next couple of games against Exeter, I'd like to see Joey at 15."Co-host Jason Hennessy notes how 'absolutely class' Carbery looked when he was asked by Leinster to play fullback in a backline that often featured Johnny Sexton at outhalf. The thinking, back in 2018, was to move Carbery to Munster as Sexton needed an Ireland deputy that was getting regular starts in the 10 jersey.

Lindsay Peat played mediator by suggesting the mid-game switch to fullback could be a compromise most supporters, and the man himself, could get behind. With Mike Haley and Simon Zebo back in contention for this Last 16 dates with Exeter, the 'Carbery to fullback' button may not have to be pressed. For now.
