Video: Proof that Conor Murray has better reflexes than Gordon D’Arcy and Robbie Henshaw

"He's so fast he makes fast people look... not fast".

“He’s so fast he makes fast people look… not fast”.

Gordon D’Arcy, Conor Murray and Robbie Henshaw pitted their reflexes against the 3Tryout machine, a machine specifically designed to measure reflex speed, at Carton House today in the build-up to the big game against Australia this weekend.

As you would expect of top-level athletes, they have cat like reflexes and all three did remarkably well in the test, but it was Conor Murray who beat off stiff competition to score an impressive grand total of 84 points.

This type of test is common in professional sport to help athletes improve their hand-eye coordination and in turn try to give them that little edge they need in their game.

Supporters travelling to the Ireland game this Saturday can test themselves on the 3Tryout machine located at the West Stand Podium Entrance outside the Aviva Stadium to be in with a chance to win various prizes.
