Ruaidhri Murphy taking legal action to play for Australia

Good luck to him, I hope he's very successful with Australia. He'll be no loss to Ireland though in my opinion. He couldn't make it at Leinster and couldn't make it at Exeter. If he's capped by the Wallabies, it shows they must be desperately short on props, even more so than Ireland.
 
To be fair he's only 25. He could mature into a great player, i wouldn't say he's no loss to Ireland just yet mate...
 
From what I've seen this season I'd be surprised if he gets capped for Australia even if he becomes eligible. He is a solid bench option for the Brumbies, but there are a number of loose-heads ahead of him in Australia (I've only seen him play on the LH side). I'd rate Benn Robinson, Ben Alexander, Ben Daley (and that's just the Ben's!), James Slipper, Greg Holmes, and Pek Cowan all ahead of him in terms of LH propping options (and many of these can play TH too...)....
