Andy Farrell has hailed Conor Murray’s influence in Ireland camp ahead of the Munster’s scrum-half’s return to the national XV for this Sunday’s game against Argentina in Dublin.

Murray has had to make do with a back-up role against Japan and New Zealand this month, his usual No 9 jersey having been handed to Jamison Gibson-Park who has played a blinder in the two wins to date.
