Joe Schmidt’s test poser putting three into 10

As impressive as Leinster’s conveyor belt of homegrown fly-halves is, something always had to give.

Much like the late Princess of Wales bemoaning that “there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded” ahead of her divorce to Charles, the presence of a trio of top-quality number 10s in Leo Cullen’s side meant it would be near impossible to hang onto them all.

Having Johnny Sexton, Joey Carbery, and Ross Byrne all featuring regularly as playmakers, as they will next season now Carbery has opted to join Munster, is the ideal scenario for Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt.
