Earls gave some advice to Limerick hurlers, says Murray

Limerick’s run to this month’s All-Ireland hurling final received some help from Munster and Ireland rugby star Keith Earls, team-mate Conor Murray has revealed.

Hurling fan Murray was in Croke Park last Sunday as his native county came from behind against Cork to win the All-Ireland SHC semi-final in extra time. Speaking at Munster’s kit launch yesterday in Cork’s Fota Island Resort, the Ireland and Lions scrum-half from Patrickswell was asked yesterday what advice he would give the hurlers ahead of their final showdown with either Galway or Clare on August 19.
