This Week At Munster Rugby
26th July 2021 By The Editor
Conor Murray has helped the Lions to victories against Australia, New Zealand and now South Africa.
The bulk of Munster Rugby’s senior and Academy players begin their pre-season training programme ahead of the 2021/22 season today (Monday).
The weekend’s action saw Conor Murray join a very select club after Saturday’s victory for the Lions over South Africa. Murray is one of only 10 players to have won a Lions Test match against all three of Australia, New Zealand and the Springboks.
Murray’s Munster team-mate Tadhg Beirne also featured off the bench to close out the 22-17 win, making his Lions Test debut.
