Conor Murray: 'We took the time that was necessary to get the neck fully right'

Conor Murray may be frustrated he missed Ireland’s historic victory over the All Blacks last month but he has no regrets he took the time to properly rehab his neck injury.

Murray is set to make his fourth appearance of the season on Saturday when Munster travel to Castres for their Heineken Champions Cup pool clash and the way the scrum-half has been playing since long-awaited start to the 2018-19 campaign has been vindication for the patience and caution he exercised in making sure his neck was in perfect working order for the rigours of elite professional rugby.
