Murray Recalled For All Blacks Test

22nd November 2013 By Munster Rugby

Munster’s Paul O’Connell, Peter O’Mahony and the recalled Conor Murray will line up for Ireland against New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday with O’Connell captaining the side.

Head Coach Joe Schmidt has made three changes to the Irish side that was comprehensively beaten 32-15 by Australia last week.

Munster’s Conor Murray is one of the beneficiaries of the shake-up and he forms a half-back partnership with Johnny Sexton who has recovered from a slight hamstring injury.

Ian Nagle is one of five players brought in to train with the Irish team today to allow senior players to return to their provinces.

New Zealand have won 13 out of 13 so far this season and another victory on Sunday would complete the perfect Test season.

15. Rob Kearney (UCD/Leinster)

14. Tommy Bowe (Belfast Harlequins/Ulster)

13. Brian O'Driscoll (UCD/Leinster)
