No divided loyalties as Murphy lauds home away from home

LEICESTER TIGERS full-back and captain Geordan Murphy is a born and bred Leinsterman, but he insists that there will be no doubt about to his commitment to his team’s cause in this evening’s Heineken Cup final at Murrayfield.

Murphy, who will again captain the English side in Martin Corry’s absence, also warned family and friends alike that they won’t be getting his supply of match tickets if their loyalties lie anywhere but with the Tigers!

“I’ve played against Munster in the 2002 final and being an English-based Irishman, against my international colleagues on many occasions so it’s not new ground for me,” he pointed out. “The Leicester Tigers is the only professional team I have played for and although I’m Irish as well, my team is Leicester.
