Conor Murray has won a series in Australia with the British and Irish Lions and drawn another, in New Zealand, but Munster’s scrum-half says that making a third tour, this time to South Africa, is the most satisfying of the lot after his struggles with injury and form.

The Limerick man was one of the best players on the planet in 2018 as Ireland conquered all before them but a neck injury suffered midway through the year kept him out for months and he struggled to revisit those previous heights on his return.
