Murray gets another chance to build on promise

CONOR MURRAY gets another chance to move up Munster’s scrum-half pecking order when he partners Ronan O’Gara in tonight’s Magners League clash against Cardiff Blues at the City Stadium (7.05pm).

Murray was handed his first start against the Dragons at the start of the month and tonight lines out alongside the vastly experienced O’Gara in a side that predictably includes returning internationals Paul O’Connell, Keith Earls and Denis Leamy.

With Tomás O’Leary out injured, Munster coach Tony McGahan has decided another start is appropriate for the impressive number nine, although Peter Stringer will be on the bench and ready to bring experience to the fray if required.
