Conor Murray has signed a new 2 year deal with the IRFU and will stay at Munster until the end of the 2016 season.

It's not all good news for the Lions scrum half though as he's been ruled out for up to 6 weeks with knee ligament damage.

The news comes less then 24 hours after Leinster duo Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip were rumored to have signed for Clermont and Toulose.
