Graham Rowntree has backed Calvin Nash to have long career with both Munster and Ireland after the winger was handed a Guinness Six Nations debut against France on Friday night.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell selected Nash, 26, to fill the void created by Mack Hansen’s dislocated shoulder with the Munster wing now set to win his second Test cap following a summer debut against Italy in a World Cup warm-up.
