Forlorn Foley’s All Black dream is shattered

ANTHONY FOLEY must have cut a forlorn figure as he made his way down the N7 and on to Killaloe last night.

He had just been omitted from the Irish team to tackle New Zealand at Lansdowne Road on Saturday next and deprived of the opportunity of following in the footsteps of his father Brendan in forming the first father and son combination to put one over on the All Blacks.

Brendan, of course, did it for Munster in 1978; the chances now are that Anthony won’t have the chance again.
