Murray won’t rest on laurels

Conor Murray’s name would be among the first on most people’s Ireland World Cup squad but memories of his own ascent to the 2011 tournament are keeping the scrum-half on his toes during the team’s training camps.
Murray may have been Ireland’s first-choice number nine for most of his international career but as far as the 30-year-old Munster star is concerned, as he targets a third World Cup campaign, he is locked in a battle with squad mates and fellow half-backs John Cooney, Kieran Marmion, and Luke McGrath until informed otherwise.
