Ireland going from strength to strength – Murray

Ireland started their autumn Nations Championship matches with a 42-12 win over Argentina in Dublin, scoring six tries. Former Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray said the performance reflected a team growing in quality and depth, with two challenging fixtures against Fiji and South Africa still to come.

Murray praised Hugo Keenan, who scored three tries, for his leadership and pace, and said new half-back pairing Sam Prendergast and Craig Casey controlled the game well. He also highlighted the forwards’ performances, including Tadhg Furlong and Andrew Porter, and said competition across the squad was pushing players to perform. Murray expected Ireland to beat Fiji, while noting that players would be looking to impress ahead of the South Africa match.
