Murray: We have to get up to speed quickly

If any non-Leinster player had any illusions that Joe Schmidt was anything other than a demanding task-master, they were quickly reminded that good isn’t quite good enough.

A six-day turnaround doesn’t lend itself to celebration and Schmidt has no intention of allowing the players to rest on their laurels. Munster scrum-half Murray revealed that the new head coach reminded his players of the necessity for considerable improvement against Wales.

And to that end he told his players in the Aviva Stadium dressing room that the speed of delivery from the breakdown was too slow.
