That busy week begins immediately. Foley has been drafted into the Ireland senior set-up because forwards coach Gert Smal will miss the rest of the Six Nations campaign with an eye injury. Foley will report to the national team base tonight.
“I’m very excited about about being called up but I know my fortune is because of someone else’s illness. That’s something the human side looks at and you wish Gert all the best. My side of it is the get up to speed on where the Irish team is and make sure they’re full ready.”
