Murray wants Munster to win trophies

CONOR Murray admits that Munster need to win the Guinness Pro 12 if the season is to be deemed a success.

Munster face a crucial contest at Ravenhill on Saturday and scrum half Murray felt his team learned a lot from their European Champions Cup exit.

"We were knocked out of Europe and that didn't go to plan, the group was a tough group and the Clermont game was the standout, where we did lose the group,” Murray said.

“Definitely, this is a successful club who are used to winning trophies. That's where we want to be at the end of this year, I wouldn't be afraid to say that it's how we'll be judged."

Now Murray wants Munster to end the campaign strongly under Anthony Foley.  "We've spoken about Europe, we learnt a lot about ourselves in those games.

"Clermont away, we learnt an awful lot. It was great that we picked up a losing bonus point that time and, as time has gone on, we've become a stronger team that understand each other that bit more.

"Returning from international camp and getting the internationals back is a boost to the squad, we're in a stronger position.

"We'd a new coaching group this year, we're nearly a year down the line with them now and we find that we're a more settled side now. Hopefully, you'll find that this is the case this weekend."
