O'Gara leads the tributes as Racing 92 pay their respects to Anthony Foley

The French side’s rescheduled Champions Cup fixture against Munster is taking place this afternoon.

MUNSTER HAVE RETURNED to Paris this afternoon for the first time since the untimely death of their head coach Anthony Foley on 16 October.

Foley passed away on the morning of what was due to be their opening fixture in this season’s European Champions Cup against Racing 92.

The game was rescheduled for this afternoon instead and the French club have shown their class by paying tribute to the late Munster legend.

Racing’s players and coaching staff, including former Munster out-half Ronan O’Gara, wore red Anthony Foley t-shirts during the warm-up, while supporters displayed banners.

The game kicked off following a minute’s applause for Foley.
