Fitting. Touching. Inspiring.
Anthony Foley would’ve been looking down at Munster on Saturday with a big smile on his face.
The men in red played with energy and purpose, they played for their coach and friend – heck, they played like Munster men.
Everything the guys in red did at Thomond Park seemed to be coming from another place entirely. Whether you believe in an afterlife or not, there was no disputing the fact that Axel was there with his province throughout this Champions Cup clash.
He was there on their hearts.
Even the Glasgow Warriors were paying tribute on their jersey.
The book of condolence was a busy spot before the game.
The tributes outside Thomond were powerful.
And the atmosphere inside the stadium was moving.
Axel watches over them.
To the brave and the faithful, nothing is impossible.
