Murphy has been put in charge of Ulster until the end of the season following the exit of Dan McFarland in February.
His first matches at the helm will be away to the Sharks and Stormers as part of a two-match tour to South Africa.
“It’s about little things which hopefully after a period of time you will see on the pitch,” said Murphy.
Murphy will be able to call on the services of Ireland Six Nations-winning players Iain Henderson, Stuart McCloskey and Tom O’Toole as part of a 30-strong squad for the United Rugby Championship double-header.
However, Jacob Stockdale, who was in the Ireland squad but did not feature for Andy Farrell’s side during the Six Nations, is not included in the travelling party, for what Murphy described as “family reasons”.
Henderson and McCloskey featured in two games each over the course of the Six Nations, while O’Toole made one appearance off the bench in the win over Italy.
Tom Stewart and Nick Timoney link up again with the Ulster squad while hooker Rob Herring could make his comeback during the trip, the Ireland international having missed out on the Six Nations after suffering an elbow injury in January.
