Conor Murray has signed a new Ireland contract to keep him at Munster until June 2022.

The British and Irish Lions scrum-half is currently sidelined with a neck problem, but the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has moved quickly to secure his services on extended terms.

The 29-year-old has emerged as one of the world’s top half-backs and could command a princely sum overseas, but has committed once again to Munster and Ireland.
