Joey Carbery reflected on his first season in a Munster jersey this afternoon, and with the recent departure of the highly regarded Jerry Flannery and Felix Jones, the Munster out-half said that he’s looking forward to “picking the brains” of incoming World Cup winner and new Munster backs coach Stephen Larkham, when he arrives in Limerick:

“I would have watched him a good bit, he was a pretty good player. It was pretty cool that he played a bit of fullback as well and moved into 10 a bit later.”

“I can see the relevance there so it would be great for me to work with him on a personal level but then, when he was coaching with the Brumbies and Australia, you could obviously see the way he played in the way that the teams were playing. He seems to be a guy who coaches on instinct and what he sees which is pretty cool to see.” 

“It was very sad to see Felix and Jerry go. Two very good guys and two great coaches as well. They’re going to be a huge loss but it’s great to see those type of calibre of coaches coming into Munster because it just shows from both sides of the coin that everyone is pretty ambitious and willing to go that extra bit which is great.”

Carbery will have to wait for that first meeting with Larkham for that bit longer, should he make Joe Schmidt’s Rugby World Cup Squad. A World Cup opportunity the 23-year old is very much looking forward to:

“Feeling pretty confident and it’s going to be a big summer of training to try and get the body and mind right, but I’m pretty confident going into the next couple of months that if I’m called upon, I should be ready.”

Joey Carbery was speaking at the launch of Avonmore Protein Milk’s new blueberry flavour.
