Munster legend's cousin 'lives for rugby' but asthma presents extra challenges

The 11-year-old, who is a cousin of Keith Earls, lives for rugby 'but when he’s on the pitch he doesn’t get much play-time because of the asthma'

Aoife Kally and her son Ethan. 'You can feel all alone with the asthma sometimes, but there is help and support there if you reach out on the WhatsApp group.'

Ethan Kally, 11, lives for rugby. And no wonder when his cousin Keith Earls set a great example for him.
