[2] Murray went on to play for Saracens and Edinburgh before joining French team US Montauban following the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
[3] Murray left Castres in June 2012 to join newly promoted Mont-de-Marsan based side Stade Montois.
Since then he has won this honour a further two times in 2001–02 and 2002–03[2] and gained selection for the British & Irish Lions on their tour of Australia in 2001, although he did not feature in any of the full tests.
[5] In the 2003 Rugby World Cup Countdown Test against Italy he captained the side from the start for the first time when he won his 50th cap.
Murray became only the second Scotland player ever to be sent off (the other being second row colleague Nathan Hines) and was subsequently banned for three weeks, after an unsuccessful appeal, meaning he would miss the upcoming Calcutta Cup game.
