The Lions tour came to an end a month ago, but Conor Murray still hasn’t got around to sorting all his gear out.
The British and Irish Lions enjoyed a relatively successful tour, in which they held the all conquering All Blacks to a series draw, but another big success story for the players was the amount of top quality gear they managed to bag themselves for their efforts.
The Irish members of the squad acquitted themselves well throughout the course of their four-weeks Down Under, with Tadhg Furlong at his bulldozing best, Sean O’Brien firing on all cylinders while Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray were the dynamic duo that we know they are.
They all came home with their heads held high, and a tonne of the best looking rugby gear on the market.

You’d have to wonder would the players actually get that much use out of all this gear, because when they’re training with their province or their country, they’ll always be wearing that squad’s gear.
There’s literally everything and anything knocking about, from jerseys to singlets to gilets to training shorts to boots, and even bags for these boots.
The poor lad is even struggling to navigate his way around his own room, such is the mountain of gear lying around.
It’s hard to choose what the best piece of gear in that room, but the peaked cap that sneaks into the bottom left corner really catches the eye.
As does the tank top in the top right.

In fairness to Conor, he must have been feeling slightly guilty at the array of riches at his disposal, so he generously decided to give away a pair of boots to a lucky follower.
If you’ve no use for any of the other stuff, we’re sure there’s lots of gear-deprived souls around the country who would gladly take it off your hands.
They’re living the dream.
