Nobody lets their imagination run wild only to come up with five minutes at the fag end of a pasting. It’s quite easy to look good at scrum-half when there’s nothing to play for.

If Carbery doesn’t get the nod at 10 against England when a rusty Sexton struggles, what prospect does Japan hold for him this year?
