Denis Leamy: Munster must do Anthony Foley's memory justice

Denis Leamy wants Munster to do justice to Anthony Foley’s memory when they mark the 10th anniversary of his former teammate's passing at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this Saturday. The defence coach has warned against getting too emotional, too soon before the province’s Champions Cup pool opener with Racing 92.

Foley was Munster’s head coach when he tragically passed away aged 42 on the eve of a European clash against the same opponents in Paris on October 16, 2016. The province will mark this Saturday’s contest on the corresponding weekend to honour their 2006 Heineken Cup-winning skipper with a number of tributes in remembrance of the former Ireland No.8’s contribution to his province as a player, captain and coach.
