Conor Murray would have arrived in South Africa for the two-Test tour against the world champion Springboks, hopeful to start in the absence of the injured Jamison Gibson-Park.

It didn’t turn out that way. Munster-man Craig Casey was given the all-important halfback role against the Boks for the first Test in Pretoria.
