“(The Lions) only comes around every four years but also you can’t be stupid. After this Lions series his rugby career is not over, you know, he’s got another few years to go.” “So, obviously that plays a role but that won’t rush him back. If we didn’t rush him back for (Champions Cup) semi-final in Ireland why would we now rush him back all of a sudden? It’s bad timing.”
Murray is still in contention to return to the side this weekend and Erasmus has given an update on the 28-year-old's fitness.
"He’ll again be touch and go for this week. I can’t tell you, I haven’t actually seen him this morning. But last week he wasn’t ready to go. So we’ll see how he goes.” "Every week he contributes more in training sessions and he is doing more and more and more.

So there is a chance, there is a chance.”Murray will have two opportunities to prove his fitness to Gatland with Munster playing against Connacht in the final round of Guinness PRO 12 games or in the semi-final on May 20.
