Graham Rowntree praised Joey Carbery’s “exceptional” attitude since the fly-half was left out of Ireland’s Six Nations squad and backed him pull through his disappointment.

The Munster head coach had no hesitation selecting Carbery to retain the number 10 jersey at Toulouse yesterday although the 27-year-old missed two conversions in a 20-16 defeat and was replaced by Ben Healy after just 50 minutes.
