AFTER NEARLY TWO months on the sideline, Conor Murray made his injury comeback during Munster’s Guinness Pro12 clash with Connacht at Thomond Park this afternoon.
The scrum-half had been out of action since Ireland’s Six Nations defeat to Wales on 10 March but his return today is a welcome one for Munster, Ireland and the Lions.
Murray sustained nerve damage to his shoulder and neck in Cardiff and missed the rest of the Six Nations as well as six matches for the southern province, including their Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Saracens.

After returning to full contract training this week, the Ireland international was named on the bench for today’s inter-pro and replaced Angus Lloyd after 52 minutes.
With a home semi-final already secured, Rassie Erasmus’ side are cruising against the western province as they look to finish top of the pile heading into the play-offs.
