He’s been called a few things in his time, has Antoine Frisch, but his latest moniker, revealed this week by Munster boss Graham Rowntree, may stick, particularly if he keeps playing with the verve he has displaying in midfield of late.

“Tony Fresh?” Rowntree replied when the name of Munster’s summer signing was raised in midweek. The French-born, Irish-qualified centre will make his European debut for the province tomorrow when Toulouse visit Thomond Park for the opening round of this season’s Heineken Champions Cup pool competition.
