Murray will feature in his fourth World Cup and racked up a century of Ireland caps last season. The Munster man also has eight Lions Test caps across the last three tours.
The Limerick man has a strong box-kicking game and offers a physical presence at the fringe of the ruck. Murray can also stand in as a goal-kicker.
He was a crucial part of the Munster side that bridged a 12-year gap for silverware as he helped his side to the URC title last May.
