Barry John Murphy (born 28 November 1982) is a former Irish rugby union player. He played for Munster in the Celtic League and the Heineken Cup. Murphy announced his retirement from rugby in May 2011 due to a series of serious injuries.[1]
Murphy gained the man of the match accolade against the Sale Sharks in Thomond Park in January 2006, and was a part of the Munster squad which won the Heineken Cup later that year - although Murphy injured his ankle in a Celtic League game against Ulster in March 2006 and did not compete for the remainder of the season.[2]
He is in a band called Hermitage Green.[3] As of October 2017, Murphy co-hosts a podcast called Potholes and Penguins with fellow ex-Irish rugby international, Andrew Trimble.
