Murphy makes Ulster debut
Banbridge man Johnny Murphy made his debut for Ulster on Sunday.
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.
