Tributes pour in as the rugby world mourns the passing of Anthony Foley

He will go down as one of the greatest Munster players of all time...

Munster and Ireland legend Anthony Foley tragically passed away today in the Munster team hotel in Paris. Foley had been over with the Munster squad as they prepared for this afternoon's clash with Racing Metro in the opening round of the Champions Cup. The match has now been postponed. During his 13-year professional career, Foley won 62 caps for Ireland as well as over 200 for his province. When asked about him, former Ireland international Tony Ward famously said: "Asked to sum him up in a single word, I state simply and unequivocally that Anthony Foley and honesty go hand in hand." Foley will be sorely missed in Irish rugby, not just in Munster, as his influence in the country far exceeded his home province having worked for many seasons in the Irish set up. Irish rugby has lost one of its leading men today, and our hearts go out to his friends and family at this difficult time. https://twitter.com/Munsterrugby/status/787635774955085825 https://twitter.com/nbrez/status/787638757243686912 https://twitter.com/brianmoore666/status/787638143658885120 https://twitter.com/AndyGoode10/status/787638143642140672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Laura_Fitzer/status/787644495693225985 https://twitter.com/neil_treacy/status/787643868762210304 https://twitter.com/gallagherbren/status/787642056164446208 https://twitter.com/martynewilliams/status/787641577099366400 https://twitter.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/787634870864453633 https://twitter.com/markcunning/status/787640863707070464
