Murray: Captaincy role added to agony of defeat

Conor Murray says the disappointment of losing to Ospreys at the weekend was made all the worse as he was captaining Munster for the first time in his career.

The 25-year-old said leading the team was something he enjoyed and is keen to do it again but for now his focus is on getting their season back on track when they go toe-to-toe with old rivals Leinster next Saturday.

“It seemed to be a bigger game for me than anyone else and it put a bit more pressure on myself,” he said of the 19-14 defeat to the Ospreys.
