Johne Murphy ready for life after Munster as French club hovers

Johne Murphy will decide on his post-Munster future in the next week.

The Ireland A (Wolfhounds and Emerging Ireland) international, a 91-cap veteran with Munster who also played 99 top class games for Leicester Tigers, is considering offers, including one from a club in France.

“I’ll be making a decision in around a week’s time,” Murphy said yesterday. “There are options both inside and outside (professional) rugby, so I’ve looked at them and there are a couple of clubs talking. It will all be done and dusted in the next while.
