Craig Casey has looked up to Conor Murray since he was that kid who developed a serious passion for Munster and Ireland.
Week after week, Casey closely watched Murray's performances at Thomond Park, soaking in what he did to become the world's best scrum-half before becoming his understudy at the province.
The events of the week just gone by have added to the learning process - and to his admiration for a man who was once a childhood hero and is now a team-mate and a rival for the no 9 jersey, for province and country.
