The whole justification of Carbery going to Munster is that he can play 10, so I don't see that happening. More likely to see Hanrahan relocated to 15, or Conway moved to 15 with Earls/Sweetnam/Wooton/Nash on the wings.

They have 10s, they're short a FB.

We already lost Jordi, if we don’t start a pooh fight over Carbery we’ll be picked to pieces.

Breaking up a double winning team would be a folly that will set Irish rugby back years.

The Indo reporting it as a two year deal (not that that's much solace). Also reporting that it might not be announced until after the squad travel.

It could be a two year deal with the IRFU and he could move back to us halfway through, I'm just guessing though.

I just went to PR and Sewa (remember him?) said it was a three year deal and then said he made it up.

I'd imagine they'll embargo any news until after the tour.

Again, the whole justification of Carbery going to Munster is that he needs game time at 10. That's the only reason he's going.

So if Joey is avaiable and not injured, Munster have to play him and have to play him at 10, no matter what?
Even if say, one of the other 10s, and they have lots, is playing really well while at the back they are short a quality FB.
They will play him where they want, when they want.

As a result of a recent communique from The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland; that all marketing communications should be legal, decent, honest and truthful, henceforth Munster Rugby are to be recognised as The PowerAde Leinsboks.
