I was cheated, says peeved Keith Earls

Only six weeks on from Anthony Foley’s death, emotions are still raw for Keith Earls, not just at the loss of his head coach but also the red card he received in the match that followed.

Earls, recalled by Ireland for tomorrow’s Test against Australia, had missed the historic victory against New Zealand in Chicago due to suspension.

The two-week ban followed his dismissal for a what was deemed a dangerous tip tackle on Glasgow’s Fraser Brown on that emotionally charged Champions Cup day at Thomond Park when Munster came together to honour Foley a week on from his sudden death in Paris.
