Pete Wilkins predicts Jack Carty will be fired up for Connacht this weekend after getting a very brief taste of Test level rugby on his Ireland return.
Carty replaced Joey Carbery at out-half with only 90 seconds remaining in Paris last Saturday and, with his first involvement since the last World Cup over two years ago, was charged with trying to create a try to snatch victory fromthe jaws of defeat.
It didn't work out that way as Ireland's one attack with Carty on board saw the Athlone man's ambitious pass to Dan Sheehan fail to go to hand.
