Five-time Six Nations winner Conor Murray admits he is "worried" about some of Ireland's issues heading into next week's mouthwatering tournament opener against France in Paris. Ireland, who relinquished their title to Les Bleus in 2025, will travel to Stade de France without several key players through injury, as well as the suspended Bundee Aki. "I think France will be a little bit too tough for the first game," Murray, who won 125 Ireland caps, said on the Ireland Rugby Social podcast. "I hate saying that because I'm recently out of the dressing room, but I do think it'll be a little bit too far to go. "I'm definitely more worried now than I was a few weeks ago."
