Murphy thrilled with return to Ireland side

Geordan Murphy was thrilled to mark his return to the Ireland side with a match-winning performance as the hosts claimed an emphatic 34-13 victory over Scotland.

Ireland had won one and lost one of their previous two games in an unconvincing RBS 6 Nations campaign so far this season, but Robert Kearney's first international try, a double from the recalled Tommy Bowe, and scores from David Wallace and Marcus Horan saw the hosts earn a clear victory at Croke Park.
