The IRFU is described as confirming the extension, with the contract timeframe repeatedly stated as running until 2031. No conflicting details are reported across the sources regarding the length of the extension. The reports do not include further specifics about compensation or staffing changes beyond the contract renewal and the end date at the 2031 World Cup.
