Jamie George recalled the shock on Conor Murray’s face after the Ireland scrum-half was named British and Irish Lions captain.

Murray was given the role after Alun Wyn Jones suffered a dislocated shoulder in Saturday’s 28-10 victory over Japan, ending his tour to South Africa on the eve of the squad’s departure.
