WATCH: Jordi Murphy was crestfallen after Ireland's defeat to Wales

The flanker looked as if he had come from a recently scolded dressing room.

Jordi Murphy appeared to take Ireland's 16-10 defeat to Wales very personally. The Leinster back-row came out second best from his breakdown duel against the likes of Dan Lydiate and man-of-the-match Justin Tipuric. Murphy is all but assured his place in Ireland's 31-man squad but there was no telling him that. Post-match, Murphy spoke about letting Paul O'Connell down on his final home game, Ireland getting out-foxed at the breakdown and https://youtu.be/rIMklGIA2Ho Murphy and the rest of the Ireland squad discover, on Sunday afternoon, if they will make Joe Schmidt's squad. As he said - it is the email the players want, not the phone call. Anything but the phone call. https://youtu.be/O2CqD8R4Ufg
