(Reuters) - Ireland scrumhalf Conor Murray has declared himself fit ahead of the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand after returning to full training with his province Munster.

The 28-year-old halfback, who had an inspired game when Ireland beat the All Blacks in Chicago last year, suffered nerve damage to his shoulder during the Six Nations loss to Wales in March and feared it may end his career.
