Connacht’s Niall Murray admits he doesn’t remember the 2016 Pro12 win – he was too busy playing Gaelic football.
CONNACHT’S MAGNIFICENT 2016 win over Leinster in the Pro12 final in Murrayfield didn’t create much of an impression with current lock forward Niall Murray who admitted this week he didn’t even bother watching the match.
“I didn’t watch it, I watched it back. I wasn’t a rugby fan at the time. I don’t remember what I was doing. I just remember hearing after the game that Connacht won but I didn’t really know much about Connacht to be honest. But like his current Connacht captain Jack Carty, who also played for St Brigid’s and Roscommon minor footballers, Murray began to concentrate on rugby and his progress was rapid despite having never played it until he was 16.
“Last year we didn’t have the season we wanted but this season we are in the perfect place, in the semis, the biggest stage I have played on so hopefully we can progress and win one myself.
