Sexton played the full 80 minutes in Leinster's 32-17 victory over Wasps and received treatment for a troublesome shoulder. He re-lived so many moments of the match with an eager Murray and looked forward to the final few games of the season. Rice says:

On Saturday, April 22, Murray passed away at Beaumount Hospital. His funeral will take place at the Church of the Resurrection, Bayside this Friday.
Cycle Ataxia’s annual leisure cycle will take place on June 17. To learn more please visit their website here.
