Non-stop Foley has gone up a notch, maybe even two

BEFORE this season began, the big question about Munster captain Anthony Foley was whether or not he could continue to deliver the same high level of consistency that he had delivered heretofore.

Now into his 30's, playing in one of the most physically-draining positions on the field, was this the year that time would take its inevitable toll?

Well, there's no doubt about it now. Foley is not delivering the same consistency; he's gone up a notch, maybe two. The guy just never plays a bad game, in any jersey, but this season has been his best ever. Saturday was another notch again.
