Ulster Rugby: New recruit Jack Murphy says he ‘struggled’ to see where he’d ‘fit in’ at Leinster

While a new chapter in his club career awaits next season, Murphy is currently preparing for this summer’s World Rugby U20 Championship in South Africa as part of a 35-man squad under new Irish head coach Willie Faloon.

Murphy started all five of Ireland’s U20 Six Nations matches this year, scoring 52 points as they relinquished their title to England following a dramatic final round of games.

There was also heartache for Ireland at last year’s U20 World Championship, losing to France in the final in Cape Town.

Captain Evan O’Connell – nephew of Ireland great Paul – Brian Gleeson, Danny Sheahan, Hugh Gavin, and Sam Berman are the five members of the squad who featured in last year’s tournament, but Murphy is determined to use his Six Nations hurt as fuel for the tournament in South Africa.

“Me and the other lads are really driven now.

“It’s given us something to go after for this World Cup. There was a bit of hurt after the Six Nations so we’re trying to put that into the World Cup this year and go all-out at it.”
