He hasn’t shown any – Joey Carbery free of nerves before crunch Ireland clash

Ireland fly-half Joey Carbery has showed no sign of nerves ahead of making his maiden Guinness Six Nations start away to France, according to scrum coach John Fogarty.

Munster player Carbery has been thrust into Andy Farrell’s starting XV for the crunch visit to Paris as deputy for injured captain Johnny Sexton.

The 26-year-old’s 16-minute cameo in last weekend’s 29-7 win over Wales was his only action since fracturing his elbow in December and he has endured a nightmare spell with injuries since the 2019 World Cup.
