Axel eager to keep on rolling

ANTHONY FOLEY makes his 75th appearance in the Heineken Cup leading Munster out against Leinster at Lansdowne Road on Sunday.

He stretches his lead at the top of the “Elite 50 Club” over Fabien Pelous of Toulouse, and with no foreseeable end to his reign as Munster’s first choice number eight and captain, he may well go on to set a mark of European games that nobody will be able to equal, let alone surpass.

Without quite admitting as much, he regards Sunday’s game as the most important of the lot.
