CONOR MURRAY’S wife Joanna has shared a valuable parenting tip to followers – revealing it “turns every meltdown into smiles”.
The former Miss Universe is a new mum herself, having given birth to baby boy Alfie last October.
And on her Instagram, she revealed to her 177,000 followers one of the “mum hacks” she has acquired along the way.
On her story, she shared a screenshot of a Spotify stream of ‘The Happy Song’ by Imogen Heap.
And she said: “In case any parents haven’t discovered this song yet, it is MAGIC.
“It turns every meltdown into smiles I don’t know what’s in it”.
Joanna and Conor Murray’s futures lie abroad with the Munster and Ireland legend making a move abroad at the end of the 2024/25 season.
He will be retiring from international rugby at the end of the Six Nations, as will Peter O’Mahony and Cian Healy.
Saturday’s crunch clash against France will be Murray’s last at the Aviva Stadium, with the final fixture against Italy taking place in Rome.
The Corkman expressed his feeling on what is sure to be an emotional week as Ireland have just two games left in their hunt for Six Nations history.
Speaking with the media in a pre-match presser on Wednesday, he said: “It will be emotional and my genuine overriding feeling is happiness and gratitude.
‘I’m not just throwing those words out there. I’ve played for Ireland a good few times and been very lucky.
“Yeah, when the anthems are on and things like that, you’ll get a bit emotional but it would be different if it was a dead rubber.
“This is France at home and we’re in a good position.”
Murray insisted that he can’t allow himself get too emotional as there’s a job to be done.
He’ll more than likely start on the bench, behind Jamison Gibson Park but could easily be called upon in the latter stages of the contest.
The 35-year-old Munster ace admitted that he’s a great connection with the home crowd as he expects the game to a stunning atmosphere.
He added: “It’s going to be a hell of a Test match and getting too emotional, you’ll just get in your own way and it will be too much.
“I don’t think there’s any message needed for the fans for this one.It is such a big game and everyone knows what’s riding on it.
“I don’t think the kick-off time has any bearing on the atmosphere. You know by the end of the warm-up what the vibe will be like.
“That’s part of the connection the fans over the years. They know their rugby well. They know how much is on the line and it will be hopping. It will be right up there.’”
