Conor Murray believes Glasgow Warriors crossed the line in their tactics to target him during Munster's Champions Cup win last weekend and feels fortunate to have avoided serious injury.
The Warriors tried to disrupt the Munster playmaker as often as they could and while he has no problem being targeted within the laws, he felt they went too far after targeting his standing leg every time he kicked the ball.
"I'm properly p***ed off about that," said Murray at a Munster media briefing.
"I don't see any benefit in charging down someone's standing leg, I only see it as a danger or as a potential to get injured.
"I don't think it's a good tactic. They (Glasgow) did it to us at Thomond Park, they got our scrum-half Te (Aihe Toma) with it in the league game and they almost got me a couple of times.
"Luckily my leg came out of the ground and I managed to fall over, but if my leg stayed in the ground - especially in that (artificial) surface - you're looking at syndesmosis, you're looking at the cruciate (ligament).
"I'm not blaming the players. I don't know who told them to do it but it's very dangerous. Thankfully I didn't get injured."
Murray did leave the field in the 63rd minute to undergo a head injury assessment - two minutes after appearing to be prone after an attempted tackle.
The EPCR medical advisory group have started an investigation into how Munster's medical team handled the matter but Murray revealed he hurt his neck rather than his head and says he is fit to start against Racing 92 on Saturday.
