Conor Murray far from done even as time called on Ireland duties

"It'll be emotional, but I've seen so many players not get to end it on their terms, careers cut short. The fact that I get to do it on my own terms and when I'm fit and healthy is something very few people get to do. So very, very grateful.”

Conor Murray isn’t done yet. Not nearly.

The Munster scrum-half was one of three Ireland veterans to announce on Thursday that their Test careers would come to a halt at the end of this Six Nations. Unlike Peter O’Mahony and Cian Healy, Murray will play on beyond the summer.
