Murphy’s home away from home

The Kildare man is intent on sealing his starting place for next week’s do-or-die Heineken Cup clash with Toulon with a big game against Glasgow Warriors in tonight’s Magners League tie at Musgrave Park, and he’s proven a very wise signing by the Munster management.

They lured him away from Leicester last summer, even though he had also been a very useful cog in the Tigers machine over the previous five years or so. Murphy’s versatility — he has filled every position behind the scrum except scrum-half and out-half since his arrival — has helped him to earn the respect of the entire squad.
