Graham Rowntree praised his young players’ ability to step up to the plate following Munster’s 45-14 victory over Dragons as he admitted Joey Carbery is facing a “few months” on the sidelines.

Head coach Rowntree handed academy fly-half Tony Butler his first senior start in this BKT URC round-three contest on Saturday evening after scans on Carbery’s wrist injury, sustained six days earlier at Benetton, resulted in the Ireland international 10 requiring surgery.
