The in-form 23-year-old is in a race to be fit for Connacht’s Challenge Cup tie with Cardiff next month.
CONNACHT SCRUM-HALF BEN Murphy is in a race to be fit for their Challenge Cup knockout match against Cardiff on 5 April after suffering a broken finger training with the Ireland A squad last week.
“He’s had surgery on it this morning and the update is that it was successful. But I think it was a bit of a complicated one to fix up, so I imagine we won’t see him for the next five or six weeks.
They are boosted by the availability of skipper Cian Prendergast who has been released from Irish camp to play.
