'I can just concentrate now on the rugby': Keith Earls relieved to tie up Munster future

Keith Earls has spoken of his relief at getting a new contract finalised ahead of schedule in an exciting year for both Munster and Ireland.

Earls, 31, had 12 months to go on his existing deal with the IRFU, running to the end of next autumn’s Rugby World Cup in Japan but the Limerick wing has signed an extension that will keep him at Munster until the end of June 2021.
