Scrum-half legend George Gregan has backed Conor Murray to continue to perform at the highest level well beyond his 100th cap, whether he is a starter or a closer with Ireland.

Murray, 33, will reach his century of Test appearances for Ireland tomorrow when Andy Farrell's men meet world champions South Africa at Aviva Stadium with the head coach handing the Munster star the starting number nine jersey for the first time in almost a year.
