Joey Carbery’s fall from grace has been shocking and sudden but Simon Zebo is expecting a dramatic return to form for an out-half who has dropped off the Ireland radar in a World Cup year and tumbled down the pecking order at Munster.

Left out of Andy Farrell’s Six Nations and preliminary World Cup squads, the Athy man was overlooked for Munster’s sensational end-of-season, URC-winning run as Jack Crowley and the now-departed Ben Healy were preferred at ten.
