Brian O'Driscoll: 'I would love to see Joey get a bit more game time'

The Irish legend believes Andy Farrell must give the Munster out-half every opportunity to gain crucial minutes at international level

TWO INTO ONE: Joey Carbery and Jonathan Sexton during Ireland Rugby squad training at Carton House.

The smoke signals suggest that Sexton will today be returned to the starting XV for Sunday’s assignment having sat out the visit to France with a hamstring injury.
