Jack Murphy ready to follow footsteps of brother Ben

If he is selected to face France at Stade Maurice David in Aix-en-Provence next Saturday, Jack Murphy will be fulfilling a dream he has held for as long as he can remember.

A product of both Seapoint Rugby Club in Dublin and Wicklow’s Presentation College Bray, Murphy always had his sights set on making the cut for the Ireland U20s. His current team-mate at Clontarf in the All-Ireland League, Murphy’s older brother Ben picked up a Triple Crown at this age grade in 2020 alongside future senior internationals Jack Crowley, Joe McCarthy and Cian Prendergast.
