"Barry Murphy never got to sing Amhrán na bhFiann when lining out for Ireland because he won all his four caps away from home - two in Argentina on the 2007 summer tour, and one each in Canada and the USA on the 2009 summer tour."
"Murphy will return to America this week, and take a big step towards fulfilling that lifelong ambition, even if it will be in a different guise."
Barry Murphy never had the chance to sing Amhrán na bhFiann while lining out for Ireland because all four of his international caps were earned away from home. He won two caps in Argentina on the 2007 summer tour and one each in Canada and the USA on the 2009 summer tour. He will return to America this week and is set to take a significant step toward fulfilling a lifelong ambition connected to singing the national anthem. The forthcoming opportunity will present itself in a different guise, suggesting a role or context unlike his original playing appearances.
