Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast said he would love it if winger Keith Earls stayed on for a 17th season but stressed nothing has been decided about the 35-year-old’s future.

Earls has been included in Andy Farrell’s extended World Cup training squad after an injury-ravaged season that curtailed his involvement to five starts and four off the bench for Munster.
