Anthony Foley’s body to be flown home today as Munster prepare for Saturday clash

Munster will press ahead with this weekend’s Champions Cup match with Glasgow in spite of having to modify their training schedule this week to allow players and coaches time to sign various books of condolences to coach Anthony Foley.

In a statement yesterday Munster Rugby said their thoughts remain with the Foley and Hogan families and assisting them is their priority.

The club thanked the staff of the Novotel Suresnes Longchamp Hotel where Anthony Foley passed away; the local police and emergency services; the Irish ambassador in France, Geraldine Byrne Nason; embassy staff; Aer Lingus personnel at Charles de Gaulle airport; and Declan Keane of the Dublin Airport Authority.
