Conor Murray 'lucky' to be fit to face Italy in Six Nations

Conor Murray is "lucky" he will be fit for Ireland's RBS 6 Nations clash against Italy in Dublin on Saturday, March 12, according to assistant coach Richie Murphy.

Scrum-half Murray received eight stitches around his eye after being kicked in the face by full-back Mike Brown in Ireland's 21-10 defeat to England at Twickenham on Saturday.
