We gifted them most of their tries so we felt under a lot of pressure to perform in the second half. We didn't lie down and at one stage we even thought we could come back and win it.
"Geordan Edward Andrew Murphy" is an Irish rugby union coach and former player. He played as Fullback (rugby union)/fullback or Wing (rugby union)/wing both for the Ireland national rugby union team/Irish international team and the English club Leicester Tigers.
He was officially named George after his father but his mother called him Geordan to avoid confusion. His six brothers and sister all played rugby union. Murphy was educated at Newbridge College, Newbridge, County Kildare/Newbridge, County Kildare/Co. Kildare before attending Waterford Institute of Technology and De Montfort University in Leicester.
Murphy played Gaelic football at Minor (U18) level with Kildare GAA in the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship. In 1997 shortly before he joined Leicester Tigers he gained his first U18 rugby cap for Ireland. He gradually made his way into the Leicester Tigers/Tigers' first team squad, while gaining caps for Ireland U21. Opportunities at Fullback (rugby union)/fullback were limited by the presence of Tim Stimpson, but he gained a place on the right Wing (rugby union)/wing. Murphy started in both of Leicester's back-to-back Heineken Cup final wins in 2001{{cite news
