Farrell urges Murray to keep doing what he's doing to gain Irish honours

Murray, who has chalked up 43 appearances for Connacht since his debut three years ago, knows the trajectory is good and Farrell has had some simple advice for him — just keep doing what he has been producing.

Andy Farrell has told Connacht’s promising lock Darragh Murray to just keep on building on what he’s doing to progress his international career.

The 24-year-old from south Roscommon made his Irish debut during the summer in Georgia and picked up a second cap against Portugal, while his display for an Ireland ‘A’ side earlier this month against Spain saw him drafted in by Farrell as cover for the autumn internationals against Australia and South Africa.
