Conor Murray has been the first name on the Irish team sheet for quite some while now.

Murray has grown into his role at scrum-half and the Autumn Series last year only further proved that he is Ireland's most important player or at least very close to it. Murray's box kicks have been key to the Lions causing New Zealand trouble in this Test series and he was phenomenal against the All Blacks on Saturday.
