Anthony Foley: A Career in Pictures

The Irish sporting world is coming to terms with the death of Munster coach Anthony Foley.

Foley died overnight in Paris, as Munster were preparing to face Racing 92 in the Champions Cup. The game has since been postponed. 

In a distinguished career, Foley captained Munster as they won their first Heineken Cup in 2006. He also played 62 times for Ireland between 1995 and 2005. 

The Clare native was Munster's head coach between 2014 and 2016. He remained a coach with the province this season, when Rassie Erasmus became Director of Rugby.
