'No time to be moping' for Ireland as they welcome Jordi Murphy into squad

Back-rower Jordi Murphy was due to arrive in Japan on Sunday as an injury replacement for Jack Conan as the Ireland squad began to pick up the pieces from its damaging World Cup Pool A defeat to Japan.

No. 8 Conan, a substitute in the 27-3 victory over Scotland a week ago, fractured a foot in training three days ago with head coach Joe Schmidt confirming on Saturday that the Leinster back-rower’s World Cup was over.
