The former Banbridge High School pupil was named on the bench for the first time against Scarlets and came on as a second half substitute.

The hooker couldn’t help the province avoid a one point defeat but his senior debut marks a huge milestone in a promising career.

Murphy began in Banbridge RFC colours but now plays for Ballynahinch.

The 24 year-old was named Ulster Youth Player of the Year in the 09/10 season and will be looking to fulfil his potential to cement a spot in the senior squad.
