Anthony Foley sheds no new light on Stephen Moore's failed move

On a day when it was announced that Ireland flanker Tommy O’Donnell may feature for Munster against Leinster on Sunday, Anthony Foley refused to shed further light on Australian captain Stephen Moore’s failed post-World Cup move to Munster.

On Tuesday, IRFU high-performance manager David Nucifora — who rubberstamps overseas transfers and is Irish rugby’s key contract negotiator — announced that he did not stop a move by Munster for Moore’s services before the Australian hooker rejected a final offer from the province, opting instead to remain in Australia.

The Munster head coach is set to meet Nucifora this week but admitted after training in Cork yesterday that he’d not read the comments regarding Moore’s proposed move to Munster.
