Munster to mark 10-year anniversary of Foley’s death

Munster will mark the 10-year anniversary of former head coach Anthony Foley's death with a special pre-match ceremony before their Investec Champions Cup game against Racing 92 at Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Saturday, October 17. Foley passed away on October 16, 2016, on the eve of a European match against the same French club. Jean Wallace and members of Shannon RFC will perform 'There Is An Isle' prior to kick-off.

Several other tributes are planned, including Munster players wearing commemorative number eight jackets, team captains swapping jerseys, and fans applauding in the eighth minute. A photo exhibition will also take place in Marina Park, alongside half-time matches featuring youth teams from Ballina-Killaloe RFC and Shannon RFC.
