Twelve months ago, Ben Murphy doubted he would be part of the Ireland senior squad. After moving from Leinster, where he had limited appearances, to Connacht, he perceived a potential opportunity due to the Lions tour. His hunch was correct, as it paved the way for his selection alongside fellow scrum-halves for the upcoming tour to Georgia and Portugal. This reflects both his personal growth and the unpredictable nature of professional sports, showcasing how talent can emerge when the vacuum exists.

Leaving Leinster for Connacht was a significant decision for my career. I knew the summer tour could offer a shot for a new No 9, and I aimed for it.
