CLAYTON McMILLAN says beating Racing 92 is the best way Munster can honour Anthony Foley. But tonight’s Champions Cup clash has sparked a venue row, with Ronan O’Gara and Donal Lenihan insisting it belongs at Thomond Park rather than Páirc…
Munster head coach Clayton McMillan stated that defeating Racing 92 represents the best way to honour Anthony Foley on the tenth anniversary of his death. Foley passed away in Paris in 2016 ahead of a fixture against Racing. McMillan stressed that the squad is determined to deliver a committed performance reflecting Foley's legacy, despite a venue controversy over staging the match at Páirc Uí Chaoimh rather than Thomond Park.
In team news, No 8 Brian Gleeson will wear the No 24 shirt as a tribute to Foley. Meanwhile, out-half Charlie O’Shea and back rower Seán Edogbo are set to make their Champions Cup debuts for Munster, with Max Clein and Ben O’Donovan named on the bench.
