'He's in good health and he's back golfing and doing everything he loves'

Murray Kinsella Reports from Nantes IT’S ONLY SEVEN months since Conor Murray and his family went through one of the most stressful periods of their lives. His father, Gerry, was in a serious road accident when a truck collided with his bicycle near the family home in County Limerick.

“It’s brilliant. Friends are starting to come over this weekend, a few people have [asked for] team tickets and things like that.“Families love it. You see it when they turn up how excited they are, so it just kind of hits home how big it is.”Murray’s journey has been full of ups and downs. He first broke into the Ireland team during the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, dominated the number nine shirt for a decade, and more recently has had to battle with Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half.

“They’ve all been great craic and they have all been talented squads, but this one ticks a lot of those boxes, the camaraderie we have. Even though he hasn’t always been the starter at scrum-half, with Gibson-Park being an important figure, Murray is deeply enjoying being part of Andy Farrell’s set-up.
