Peter O'Mahony praises 'incredible professional' Joey Carbery

Carbery kicked 18 points and only a late conversion striking an upright ruined a perfect night’s goal-kicking that had seen him nail eight attempts, six conversions and two penalties

Peter O’Mahony praised Joey Carbery’s performance as the Munster fly-half grabbed his opportunity of an Ireland start at number 10 with both hands.

Carbery, 26, was handed the playmaking reins for the final game of the autumn Test window when captain Johnny Sexton was ruled out with a twisted knee suffered in the previous weekend’s victory over New Zealand.
