There's definitely more in the tank.
That’s where Calvin Nash’s head is at ahead of Saturday’s BKT URC quarter-final against the Sharks.
The Munster winger, who played twice for Ireland in the Six Nations, has a decent record on the road in the Rainbow Nation.
Prior to last October’s losses to Stormers and Sharks, Nash had tasted just one defeat in his previous seven games in South Africa.
That loss came in the opening Test of the 2024 series, in which he started both games.
His list of results on the road includes victories over the Springboks, Bulls, Lions, Stormers, twice, and a draw with the Sharks.
But in a mixed season for Ian Costello’s side, who needed to win their last two regular season games to qualify for the play-offs, he’s been in mixed form.
On a call from Munster’s hotel in Durban yesterday, he declined to pour sugar on that.
"Emmm, I haven’t been too happy with my performances if I am being honest with you," says Nash, who started all five of Ireland’s 2024 winning Six Nations campaign, after a pause.
"I feel like there is still probably a bit in me. I want to have a lot more standout performances but look, I'm obviously not getting frustrated with it.
"I feel like I am doing my part for the team, but standards-wise I would prefer to be pushing myself out there and standing out a bit more."
What more does he need to do?
"I think a few weeks ago I dropped off in beating defenders and the first man, which is something I felt like I was quite good at before," says the 27-year-old, as Munster bid to record a first-ever win away to John Plumtree’s side.
"For whatever reason I felt like my carrying wasn’t as good as what it had been, so from the Benetton game, I just tried to go back to basics and focus on that – don’t be thinking about other things and just scanning a bit better and communicating a bit better.
"I have tried to just narrow my focus, work on my aerial work and beating people and just backing myself with my reads in defence – stuff that I feel like I am good at."
Nash has scored five tries in 18 games this season and added: " I actually thought the La Rochelle game [in the Champions Cup] was one of my best games that I’ve ever played for Munster.
"I’m just being critical that I want, especially towards the end of the season, I want to have as good games as I possibly can do.
"I’m just trying to be hard on myself and want to push myself a bit more to get better and to be the overall player that I know I can be, and not have any regrets.
"So, yeah, I was just putting it out there being hard on myself. To be honest I don’t think I’ve been playing poorly, I just have more in me."
Nash missed out on Lions selection with Ireland back-three players Hugo Keenan, James Lowe and Mack Hansen on the plane.
That means the Limerick man is targetting games on Ireland’s summer tour against Georgia and Portugal.
"Yeah, it is a big goal," he says. "You set out goals at the start of every season and you don’t really know what way the season is going to go for you.
"It is a big goal to get on the tour this summer but being honest, like I said, I need to get my performances up again and hopefully fly into this weekend."
