Youthful Murray not restrained by history

Conor Murray is not in the slightest bit worried that no team has yet won back-to-back RaboDirect Pro12 League titles.

Instead, the young Munster scrum-half is focused only on helping his side take one further step towards that achievement at the Liberty Stadium tonight by overcoming old rivals Ospreys in the play-off semi-final in the process. He believes the ‘impossible’ to be achievable, noting Munster could well overcome a series of injury problems through the guts, determination and skill of a new generation.

“There has been chat during the year that our squad is young, not experienced enough and not strong enough. There are a lot of people in here that wouldn’t think that to be true,” he said.
