The 87-times former Scotland lock was put in charge of the forward coaching duties earlier this week following the club moving Marc Dantin sideways in response to them remaining rooted at the foot of the Top 14.

However the move surprised many, coming as it did just a couple of days after the club had won their Round 3 contest 20-13 at Bordeaux-Begles.

Now the trick is for Murray - who remains at the heart of their pack as a player - to show he also has the tactical awareness to try and plot the European double and go on and get them out of domestic trouble.

The win at Stade André Moga brought an end Mont de Marsan's 11-match tournament losing run - the worst by any French club in the competition - while also gaining a measure of revenge for Bordeaux-Begles' 17-12 win in the Top 14 last month with Raphael Ibanez's club now rooted to the foot of the table.
