The day after Anthony Foley was laid to rest in Killaloe, Thomond Park rediscovered its soul

They say a picture paints a thousand words. If that holds true then the accompanying snap, taken after Simon Zebo scored against Leicester Tigers in Thomond Park last month, tells you a lot about the mood in the Munster camp at present. 

South African prop Thomas Du Toit is only in the squad a wet week yet he embraces the try scorer as if they are life-long friends.

It is also said to enjoy sport you should play with a smile on your face. On that basis Zebo is having a ball at the moment. What a contrast to that haunting picture of him lining up for the minute’s silence in memory of Anthony Foley just prior to their Pool 1 Champions Cup game against Glasgow Warriors in Limerick back in October.
