Murray should stay at Munster, says ROG

Ronan O’Gara has poured cold water on the prospect of Munster, Ireland and Lions scrum-half Conor Murray joining him at Racing Metro.

On the day he returned to his native Cork for a testimonial dinner attended last night by 800 guests at City Hall, the retired Munster legend, now based in Paris as an assistant coach at Racing Metro, said 24-year-old former half-back partner Murray should stay with his home province.

“He’s out of contract but you’d hate to see him leave Munster because Munster is my team, or the team I played for, and you want the best players playing for Munster. So, Conor needs to play for Munster,” said O’Gara.
