Conor Murray: 'England win best under Joe Schmidt'

Conor Murray has hailed Ireland's Six Nations victory over England as the best since Joe Schmidt became head coach.

The Munster scrum-half provided the box kick that set up the only try of the game in his country's 19-9 win at the Aviva Stadium and Murray believes that the result in Dublin "meant a lot" to people involved in Irish rugby.

He told RTE Sport: "There was a lot of pressure in the build-up to it. And to get a good performance and to execute the gameplan we intended to go out and execute is fantastic.

"[A victory over England] was four years coming for me and a number of other players in the squad. So to finally beat them in a big game meant an awful lot to people."

Ireland can complete their second Grand Slam in six years if they can beat Wales and Scotland in their remaining fixtures.
