IT has been a big year for Murphy Walker, who has gone from an academy player who was facing an uncertain future if not offered a full-time deal by Glasgow Warriors at the end of the 2021-22 season, to becoming a Scotland internationalist during the recent Autumn Test series despite being able to count the number of professional games of rugby he has played with the fingers of his two hands.
But the 23-year-old prop – who made his international debut off the bench against Fiji last month – has no plans to slow down and enjoy the moment, with his club entering a crucial phase of their season.
Warriors head to Italy on Saturday hoping to break their run of 10 United Rugby Championship losses on the road against bottom of the table Zebre. It is a must-win game if they want to be serious contenders for the play-offs and Champions Cup qualification this season.
