Murray making his voice heard in heat of battle

Conor Murray has made quite an impression in his short international career to date, but, as he prepares for his RBS 6 Nations home debut, the Ireland scrum-half believes he is now being heard as well as seen.

As any coach will tell you, a successful team is dependent on good lines of communication. Rugby is no exception and it is something Murray has been acutely aware of since he settled on scrum-half as his chosen position at St Munchin’s College in Limerick as a 16-year-old.

Six years on, barely six months into his Test career, the kid from Patrickswell who will start for his country against Italy at the Aviva Stadium, is satisfied he has found his voice both on and off the field.
