WATCH: 'One more year!' Fans beg Keith Earls to play another season at Limerick's Thomond Park

CHANTS of Munster rang out around Thomond Park, the rendition of Stand up and Fight brought goosebumps and the roar from the crowd as the URC Champions entered the pitch will stick in memories for years to come.

Keith Earls addressed the crowd and it was quickly clear what they hungered for as the thousands around Thomond Park chanted "One more year!" begging the 35-year-old Munster Rugby icon to stick around another season.

Approximately 9,000 fans were at the sold-out event to welcome their rugby heroes home.

Head Coach Graham Rowntree made one thing clear - this is only the beginning. "This is the start of what's to come," he said to the crowd.
