Murray eager to extend his proud French record

It sounds like some sort of team formation - 3-2-2 - but in this case it represents Conor Murray's profit-and-loss account from his French engagements. Hard to believe the first of 55 caps came less than six years ago, slipping in under the radar on a summer's night in Bordeaux. And equally hard to credit if, like the bulk of those who have played for Ireland, your experience of playing France was a negative one. To have lost just two of those seven Tests puts him in a happy minority.
