Munster have unveiled their plans to bid farewell to the late, great Anthony Foley before and during their European Champions Cup clash with Glasgow in Limerick this coming Saturday, after Rassie Erasmus announced yesterday that they would fulfil the fixture just a day after their head coach's funeral.
To begin with, from 11am, Books of Condolence will be available for all supporters to sign in Thomond Park's Fan Zone, beneath the East Stand and in the Munster Rugby Supporters Club bar.
A special commemorative match programme, documenting Foley's life in rugby and the tributes paid to him in recent days, will be available to purchase at the ground, with a percentage of proceeds going towards a fund or charitable cause to be agreed upon by the Foley family with support from Munster Rugby.
Before kick-off, a minute's silence will be observed by supporters, during which a special tribute to the Munster icon will take place in Thomond's West Stand. Munster have asked that supporters with tickets for the West Stand take their seats no later than 12:40pm in order to facilitate this (kick-off is at 1pm).
The Munster Rugby Supporter's Club Choir will also perform 'There Is An Isle' on the pitch prior to kick-off, with soprano Sinéad O'Brien also set to join the choir to perform club anthem 'Stand Up And Fight.'
Students from Foley's school, St. Munchin's College of Limerick, and young players from his former club Shannon RFC, will perform a guard of honour for both Munster and Glasgow teams as they emerge from the tunnel for what now promises to be an emotionally-charged, titanic tussle.
Finally, at half-time the girls rugby team from Anthony's native Ballina/Killaloe will take part in a mini rugby display alongside Bruff, Waterpark and Tralee/Listowel.
Tickets for the fixture, and Munster's fond farewell to an Irish rugby legend, are available to purchase here.
