Johne Murphy converts sporting passion from Thomond Park back to the track

Johne Murphy is best known on these shores as a Munster rugby player who also had a very successful stint with Leicester in England, having learned the game at Newbridge College, Naas, and Lansdowne.

He was a talented Gaelic footballer too, and played for Ellistown in a Kildare senior county semi-final before the opportunity to play professionally in England ended that career.
