That’s more like it Conor.
Many Munster supporters that filed into the Aviva Stadium early for their team’s Champions Cup semi final against Saracens would have got excited when they saw Conor Murray in a tracksuit and out on the pitch.
Word spread on social media but it soon became apparent that there would be no miracle comeback. Duncan Williams is the man and the back-up is… Ian Keatley, we think.
BT Sport caught up with Murray to get his take on an arm injury that has kept him on ice for the past six weeks. If the southern province can reach the Champions Cup final, it sounds like Murray has a good chance of being involved. He said:
“I’m very close. Very close. So we’re just waiting on the strength to come back in my arm. It’s nearly there but not quite.
“It’s probably 85 to 90 per cent and it has to be above that to play.”
Murray backed Williams and his teammates to give Sarries a test before Simon Zebo interrupted things by pinging a ball in his direction.

All Munster need to do now is beat a mighty Saracens side.
Easy…
