Unfortunately for 'Sweets', a knee injury during the St. Stephen's Day victory over Leinster in Thomond Park resulted in a considerable absence from the game - diminishing any hopes of working his way into the Ireland reckoning for the Six Nations.

Andrew Conway replaced him permanently and Munster fans will be hoping that he will be okay for Saracens next weekend.
