DARRAGH MURRAY WINS FIRST SENIOR CAP!
DARRAGH MURRAY won his first Ireland Senior cap against Georgia in the opening fixture of their two Test Summer series on Saturday when he became Ireland international number 1169. Head Coach Paul O’Connell, also a lock, choose Darragh to make his senior debut against a team renowned for their forward ability and toughness and Murray acquitted himself quite well in a 34-5 victory as he became the third Roscommon native after Leo Galvin and Jack Carty to be capped at this level.
It was a great birthday present for the product of Buccaneers RFC who was 24 on Friday, Independence Day! He was awarded his first Connacht senior cap in 2022 and had a good outing when playing for Ireland A against a strong England side earlier this year. Hopefully he will get more game time against Portugal on Saturday next.
