Monster No. 9 Connor Murray is a legend in his 2010 post with 32, 91 caps, 8 British and Irish Lions with Ireland. Quality of play on foot, rough resistance, and anatomy (1m87, 94kg). ) Made him a player capable of interacting with forwards. The undisputed holder under New Zealand coach Joe Schmidt, Ireland won first place in a Grand Slam at the 6 Nations Tournament in 2018. However, from the 2019 tournament, the Clover team performed poorly, having to concede two crushing defeats against England (20-32) at home and Wales (25-7) in Cardiff. A very slow, uninspired game, separated on the green side.
Unlike players like Aaron Smith, Nick White, Faf de Clerk, or Antoine DuPont, dynamic and fast passers, Connor Murray was more tough. Ireland’s performance in the World Cup highlighted these shortcomings and called into question the game this team should have. In the months that followed, there was a debate as to whether the Ulster scrum should be started in half John Cooney in Ireland.

It was then that the Gibson-Park Option, games 29 and 8, were taken seriously by the Maoris All Blackies. This “project player” arrived in Ireland in Leinster in 2016 and qualified in 2019, thanks to the World Rugby Rules of 3 years stay in one country. Former Hurricanes player Connor Murray is almost the opposite. Dynamic player, fast passer but low efficiency kicking. Its contributions led Ireland to progress.
The tempo, printed at number 9 against the All Blacks in Dublin, allowed his team to win and change the game. However, we can blame him for continuing in the traditional game pattern. It was imperative to get out of the frame, especially at the end of the first half, when the All Blacks began to physically strike, leaving the edges of the default scoop free.
With Gibson-Park, Ireland can afford to play closer to the opposing defense, so there are more facilities for clearing, speeding and ensuring the continuity of the game. In short, this fall is a good thing that has already proved its worth against Japan (60-5) and New Zealand (29-20).
