Obviously, supporters had their doubts that Murray would tog out for their Six Nations clash against France but Ireland scrum coach John Fogarty, revealed that he is in ‘good form.’

“Yeah, he’s in good form, he’s back in with the group and he’s in good form and he’s looking forward to tomorrow,” said Fogarty.

“We wish his dad the very best from the squad and a quick recovery.”
