Calvin Nash looks ahead to Munster's Champions Cup clash with the Sharks.
CALVIN NASH IS still getting used to Champions Cup rugby. Before this season, the Munster winger had featured just once in the competition – a January 2020 win against Ospreys when qualification for the knockout rounds was already out of the province’s reach.
So especially the games that we’ve had, the Toulouse games and Northampton games, they were some of the hardest games I’ve played physically, and you’re out of breath a good bit more than some of the URC games that you might play.” Munster make the trip to South Africa on the back of a concerning URC defeat to Glasgow – trailing 28-0 at half-time in Thomond Park last Saturday, in a game they went on to lose 38-26 .
“We did need a bit of a kick from last week but at the same time it’s all about development and as long as you’re giving it your all, all of the coaches can see that and they’re quite happy to help you and keep driving you on. Nash has started 12 games for Munster this season – a career best – and his performances have also helped push him into the mix with Ireland. The 25-year-old – who made his Munster debut in 2017 – toured with the Emerging Ireland squad earlier this season and was part of Andy Farrell’s Ireland squad for the November internationals, playing for Ireland A against the All Blacks XV.
