Joey Carbery has been assured Munster and Ireland “have got his back” after the exciting fly-half suffered yet another injury setback on his road back to full fitness.

Munster head coach Johann van Graan revealed that on Monday he, Ireland boss Andy Farrell, and IRFU Performance Director David Nucifora had met with the 24-year-old playmaker to discuss the latest assessment from a specialist who said the ankle injury he initially suffered against Italy last summer required an indefinite period of time away from rugby.
