Murray believes the new squad has come together well ahead of the South African clash.

The Munster and Ireland scrum half would now be considered one of the more experienced heads in camp, but it wasn’t too long ago when Murray himself was among the new crop of players at an Irish training camp.

Now a two time British and Irish Lion, the former St. Munchin’s college pupil admits that the first week was a bit of a transition with players from both the Lions tour and the Japan tour meeting for the first time, but feels preparations have been going well ahead of the opening November fixture against South Africa.
