Players now trying get back to ‘normal’ business, says Rassie Erasmus

Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, his staff, and his players have been working hard at UL over the last few days trying to return things to as close to normality as possible following the tragic and heartfelt loss of head coach Anthony Foley.

Erasmus pointed out that “it’s certainly not as difficult as it is for Olive and the kids and the family. How tough it was for us is really irrelevant. It’s for us to be able to go and perform. I think different management members, players, and coaches will handle it differently.

“For some the reality comes back in different stages... in the changing room, in the coach’s meeting room. So I think it will take a good while for different guys to handle it differently and while this is a hard thing to say, I think it will hit us continuously at different time periods.”
