Probe no surprise for Conor Murray

Murray, 27, received on-pitch treatment for a neck injury after he admitted making a mistimed tackle on the Warriors lock, but was not removed for a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) for another five minutes. The Munster scrum-half passed the first HIA and rejoined the game and has since completed World Rugby’s return-to-play protocols, as well as visiting a neurologist for added assurance that he did not suffer a concussion.
Yet, while he said Munster went “above and beyond” their player welfare obligations, Murray said he was not surprised EPCR asked its Medical Advisory Group to convene an Untoward Incident Review Group to look into his treatment last Saturday.
