Shocking news.

Bigger things than rugby out there.

Condolences and thoughts with Anthony Foley's Wife, Children, Family, Friends and all associated with Munster Rugby.

Munster requested that today's match against Racing 92 is (rightly IMO) re-scheduled.

Indeed. A real shock. I am lost for words. Condolences to all concerned. The immediate family, of course, and the larger Munster rugby family.

Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing,
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry"
