Jamison Gibson-Park has expressed his deep appreciation for the opportunity to learn from Conor Murray, the legendary scrum-half who is set to play his final game for Ireland this Saturday. Murray, alongside Peter O'Mahony and Cian Healy, will retire from Test rugby after Ireland's last match in the Six Nations in Rome.

Gibson-Park, who moved to Ireland from New Zealand in 2016 to join Leinster, described Murray as "unbelievable and a great guy." He reflected on Murray's consistent performance over the years, stating, "He was one of the best in the world for the guts of 10 years. When I first arrived in Ireland, I was amazed at how good he was. He was unbelievably consistent, and I felt I was probably a little inconsistent at that time."

The Irish scrum-half also highlighted the impact Murray had on his career, saying, "I looked up to guys like him for sure, and then getting into camp with him, it's been awesome to rub shoulders with him. He's such a great guy and he's certainly helped my career."

As Murray, O'Mahony, and Healy prepare to bid farewell to international rugby, Gibson-Park emphasized the team's motivation to end their time on a high note. "I feel privileged to have played with all three of them," he said. "It would be nice to finish off in a good way for the lads that are done. Obviously, it was their last game in the Aviva, but we have another game [on Saturday] to look forward to. That's the beauty about this competition, we still have a game to go and we can turn around hopefully, so I look forward to that."

This weekend's match in Rome will be a poignant moment for Irish rugby as they honor the contributions of these three stalwarts. The team will be looking to give them a fitting send-off with a strong performance in their final Six Nations game.
