Ireland international Jack Carty extends Connacht deal
By PA
Ireland international Jack Carty has signed a three-year contract extension to keep him with Connacht until 2025.
The fly-half won the last of his 10 caps at the 2019 World Cup but was called up to Andy Farrell’s squad ahead of Sunday’s win over Argentina as cover for the injured Johnny Sexton.
He made his debut for the province in 2012 and has appeared 164 times, including being part of the squad which won the Guinness PRO12 in the 2015-16 season.
“I’m so thankful and grateful to be able to represent my home province for another three years,” the 29-year-old told Connacht’s website.
“The last six months have easily been the most enjoyable part of my career and in that time I feel I’ve matured as a player, leader and person.”
Carty was handed his international debut by former Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt during the 2019 Six Nations.
He has started just two games for his country and is yet to feature under current coach Farrell.
Connacht head coach Andy Friend said: “Jack is a top-class international out-half and a crucial player for our squad.”

"and are spreading that ball around like Rama on toast." Exactly my point. Porous defence on both sides. It looked more like a Super rugby game between Western Force and Melbourn Rebels than a test match. Against NZ, SA, Ireland or France the Wallabies would be the toast if they allowed that many line breaks.

Had Borethwick not dropped a huge clanger and stuffed the team by bringing his big mate ford on and also next game moving Marcus out of the way again for ford , we would all be basking in 2 wins ,probably, and looking forward to the Boks.
Yes the team made lots of errors but were still there at the death .
Borthwick / ford issue is the problem
It will still be until the 2 Smiths are given proper games .
