Superb passing, superb kicking, superb try scoring ability, superb ability to see the space, plus he's got great versatility and for a scrum half he's huge, easily the best and most complete 9 in the world imo

Greatest 9 on the go

Keep them coming KP,another piece of excellent work,Many thanks for sharing this.

You get more for your money with a Murray.................Outstanding player.

Murray is best

Come on Murray lead us to the World Cup glory

And this is why he is Ireland's starting 9 ladies and gentlemen!

Please do a comparison video on Conor Murray and Aaron Smith

Ireland has the best 9 and 10 in the world hands down

I loved this, I have also got one on my channel

brilliant as long as you mute the sound

The team and squad Ireland have now would give any team in world a good hiding

What about his box kicks

Murray an amazing player but comparing him with smith is just pointless as the two styles and very distinct skill sets are so different. One thing that is obvious though is that ireland wouldnt be half the team they are without murray and sexton and if both stay fit then ireland are a huge chance to go beyond the quarters in japan next year and anything is possible after that. The november test will be interesting!!

Message to anyone in the comments. It's personal opinion if Aaron Smith or Connor Murray is better. They are both class and anyone who is trying to convince anyone that either or is somehow better just give up. Plus they play a totally different game. Connor like to run with the ball and use box kicks to gain territory and Aaron Smith utilises that no have a quick back line by just whipping the ball out. So it's difficult to compare tbh

Vote for Murray to be player of six nations 2018 here: www.sixnationsrugby.com/potc

Who thought it was ok to put this tune in the video wtf this is rugby man...

Conor is good there's no denying, but Peter Stringer was the best Irish no.9 without any doubt in my opinion, I used to call him "the ferret" because he went in one end of a scrum or ruck and nearly always came out the other side with the ball and even though he was tiny he had no fear of tackling anyone he even brought down Jonah Lomu.!!

Have him up against the league lads then he wouldn’t be 😂

the best number 9 in the world - George Gregan n Justin Marshall- only this two guys in the rugby history never ever change no irish sory mayber next centry

faf de klerk?

Lol, turns out Murray was'nt quite as good as Irish pundits made him out to be. While Murray was on the rise Aaron Smith, unfortunately was going through a rough patch of inconsistent form, from 2016 - 2019 but he has come back snarling. His allround game, creativity, acceleration, passing, and kicking game have made him wholly unoredictable. Murray, became a kicking halfback.

Was being the word! He is absolutely nowhere near his best and hasnt been in a very long time

now this below is pure class......and he's only our No2 halfback

Lol Aaron Smith, Faf De Klerk and Will Genia must not exist in your mind, he the best in the same way Mark Webber was the best F1 driver during his time, he was the best if you pretended Alonso, Button and Hamilton didn’t exist

Lest we don't need any Irish coaches to win something like some people

Currently faf de Klerk is better in my opinion but Connor Murray is in a close second

Put it like dis Aaron smith is slightly better at a nines job as passing n dat but dats all he's got over Murray. Murray is a way more all round player

Hmmmm, guy's he's good, but it depends on what kind of game plan you want. He's easily the best "big" Halfback playing in the world at the moment. That much is clear, he's also tactically very useful as he's strong, tackles and covers well, runs straight, kicks well and can slot into a Fly Half or Full Back position if need be. He works well for Ireland's game plan where he's another Loose Forward. Indeed, he's not quite a Joost van der Westhuizen, level big Halfback, that bloke is probably the greatest of all time. Nevertheless, he's a more polished and consistent version of Mike Philips, who, once upon a time. Was the best 6ft plus Halfback in the world. Thus, in terms of wider use Murray is more versatile than his two main rivals Smith and Perenara. However, if you want to play quick ball, have great speed around the rucks, make fast switches of play, create offloads, use side steps/agility and great aerobic fitness, at Half Back you'd settle for these guy's. It's all a matter of preference. I'm a Kiwi so I'll go with my guy's, but as said I'm not going to argue against Murray being the best of the larger Halfbacks in world Rugby.

2 years ago maybe, nowhere near the best anymore from a Munster and Ireland supporter

Whats good about being the best individual in a team sport? He'll most likely never win a world cup with Ireland. Messi said it best when he said "i would rather be a World Champion then the best in the world"

great highlight reel , but boy golly that's the gayest backing music I've ever heard

My God why does every rugby fan like rubbish music? Rap, for a rugby video, seriously?

Bro ...Aaron Smith the best Nine

You picked the worst song

Murray is 4th best in the world

boring! let me know when he wins a world cup!

Gareth Davies is the best 9 on the planet.

Will Ginea is much more better

Perenara and aaron smith is beyond his league

wtf thix clown wouldn't even make the reserves for the all blacks he would be 4th typical poms Aaron Smith best 9 in the world best team in the world and history

Murray the best 9 on planet. ALL this from Ireland beating NZ for the first time. Overreaching much? Fact of the matter is Murray wouldn't start in 4 of 5 NZ Super teams, possibly all of them let alone best on planet. His style of 9 doesn't suit the pace of our game in NZ nor the responsibility our 9's have in varying the pace and attack. Thats the fundamental difference between the NZ game and Northern styles - When facing NZ your teams lack the individual skills so have to focus on being exceptional at one style crafting a certain individual skill-set/size and 'idealog' - too one dimensional (England possible exception) .......and which style of rugby consistently wins the most tests? The style that can be effective playing "whats in front of them" and who is the conductor of that symphony? Invariably whoever is wearing No9 on the back of a black jersey.

Aaron Smith is far better......so is TJ Perenara for that matter.
