A touch of class from Leinster as they wear Munster red in honour of Anthony Foley

The province wore shirts with a number 8 on the back before their clash with Montpellier earlier.

FIERCE RIVALS ON the field, united by grief off it.

Leinster paid a lovely tribute to Anthony Foley ahead of their Champions Cup game in Montpellier this afternoon by wearing Munster red as they emerged from the dressing rooms.

The t-shirt featured Foley’s initials on the front of it and a number 8 adorning the back. It was a touch of class from the province and a show of support for their southern rivals.

    Top priority is a clean sheet, mightn’t be the most open game

    While Rosenborg as the seeded side are probably favourites. Dundalk won’t fear them as they are well used to playing high calibre teams in Europe. Hopefully they can nick the win in what should be a tight game.

    Aaargh, could’ve been two. Dundalk looking comfortable, these lads there for the taking. Be great to go over with a couple goals to hold on to.

    Fabulous stuff so far. Stephen Kenny has his tactics spot on again. Should be seriously considered the next time Ireland are in the market for a new man.
