Moving tributes to Anthony Foley on first anniversary of death
The death of former Ireland and Munster legend Anthony Foley a year ago shook the world of rugby to its core.
The tributes which followed his death were almost unprecedented and reflected his standing in the eyes of sports fans up and own the country.
It is unsurprising therefore that Munster rugby and rugby fans up and down the country have been taking to twitter to pay tribute to ’Axel’ on the first anniversary of his death.
Incredible to think a year has passed.

Unreal to think it's been a year since Anthony Foley passed. Won't ever forget that day or indeed Thomond Park a week later #Axel #Munster pic.twitter.com/FDMgh6EHVs
