Jamie Heaslip believes that Jack Carty faces his last chance to impress with Ireland if he is picked in Andy Farrell's Six Nations squad later today.
With Joey Carbery sidelined as he recovers from an elbow injury, Connacht out-half Carty is expected to come back into Farrell's thinking, having been drafted late into Ireland's November series plans a couple of months ago.
Farrell faces an interesting choice in terms of his no 10s behind veteran first choice Johnny Sexton, who saw his first action last weekend since he was injured in Ireland's victory over New Zealand on November 13.
