Cloud Nine

No matter how these things are judged; longevity, impact or silverware, Conor Murray has more than earned his place in the pantheon of Irish rugby gods. Both at Thomond Park and on the international stage, Murray has stood out even whilst surrounded by other Ireland and Munster names who will themselves go down in history. As a Munster player, Murray has two United Rugby Championship titles to his name and his performances since his debut in 2010 saw Murray also selected in the World Rugby Men’s 15 Team of the Decade, 2010-2019. First capped for his country all the way back in 2011 with his debut showing against France, the Munster scrum-half has also been at the heart of Ireland’s astonishing success in the years since. And now, having announced he is retiring from international rugby, he is telling his own unique story in his own unique way.
