Shane Horgan believes Joey Carbery-Jonathan Sexton link would be a gamechanger

Shane Horgan has warned that Ireland are too dependent on Jonathan Sexton and believes there is a case for Joey Carbery to play beside the out-half in what would be a huge departure for the team under Joe Schmidt.

Horgan was among the most vocal critics of the national side during this year’s Six Nations when their form dipped alarmingly after a superb 2018 campaign which saw them claim a Grand Slam and take the scalp of the All Blacks. It was a worrying trend in a World Cup year.
