Ireland assistant coach John Fogarty has expressed the best wishes of the Ireland set-up to Conor Murray's father Gerry after he was involved in a road traffic collision near his home in Limerick this week.
After discussing the situation with Ireland head coach Andy Farrell, Munster scrum-half Conor has decided to play for Ireland against France in the Six Nations game at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Gerry, who is in his 60s, is an experienced cyclist who has worked as an official motorbike marshal on the Tour de France. He was cycling on the N20 near Patrickswell when his bike and a truck collided last Tuesday afternoon.
