New Munster fly-half Joey Carbery has said that his move to Limerick this summer has been a change for him.
Carbery left PRO14 and European champions Leinster last season after receiving limited opportunities at fly-half under Leo Cullen.
Carbery was Ireland coach Joe Schmidt’s second-choice fly-half during the Six Nations, but often the third choice pivot behind Johnny Sexton and Ross Byrne at Leinster, creating a situation where he lacked gametime at the position heading into international breaks.
“I’m loving it down here,” Carbery said.
“It’s a great bunch of lads and they are helping me settle in. It’s always a bit of fun in the dressing room. Training has been tough but the team is in a good place and I feel we are building quite nicely.
“I knew a few guys before I came down and that helped with the transition but I’ve made some new friends too so I’m pretty happy with it.”
Carbery said that Munster was a very professional outfit when asked what the difference was between his new club and the defending champions and he added that he’s embracing the change of his new surroundings.
“It’s two very professional outfits,” Carbery said.
“It’s a change for me, having been in Leinster. I’m embracing the change and I’m really enjoying it at the moment. I feel like I’m settling in.
“The gym and the meeting rooms are all first class. It’s helping our game being around this environment.”
