If Shane Daly takes to Test rugby with the speed at which he adapted to Ireland camp then the Munster full-back could be in for the long haul in the international arena.

The 23-year-old from Cork was yesterday named as the outside-back replacement in Ireland’s matchday squad for the Autumn Nations Cup clash with Georgia on Sunday and head coach Andy Farrell said it was an opportunity that is well deserved, despite not having played since Munster’s PRO14 semi-final against Leinster on September 4.
