Bernard Jackman: Antoine Frisch can become a key player for Munster

Bernard Jackman believes Antoine Frisch could make a bigger impact at Munster than international centres Malakai Fekitoa and Damian de Allende.

Frisch shone on his first BKT United Rugby Championship start against Connacht, his handling and offloading skills igniting a Munster attack that has faltered for large chunks of this season.

The 26-year-old was dogged by injuries after joining from Bristol in the summer but made an instant impact as Munster boosted their top-eight hopes with a bonus-point win over the Westerners.

Frisch's performance against Connacht was in stark contrast to ex-All Black Fekitoa, who has disappointed since arriving at Thomond Park.

"Frisch is going to be a key player for them," former Ireland hooker Jackman told Against The Head. "Good things happen when he’s on the ball.

"He gets Munster into that 15-metre channel which is something the Fekitoa-[Dan] Goggin partnership didn’t do.

"He could be a guy that comes in under the radar and has a bigger influence than Fekitoa or De Allende had.

"The way Mike Prendergast wants to play and the way Munster are going to evolve, I think he could be a key man. We're only seeing him now because he had some niggles early on in a red shirt."
