2016 - a bad year all round. Too many good people taken.

R.I.P.

The New Zealand Maori side paid a touching homage to the late Anthony Foley before kickoff in their match against Munster this morning (NZ time). The visitors to Ireland placed an Maori All Black jersey with the initials 'AF' in the centre of the field before performing their haka.
Maori skipper Ash Dixon neatly folded the jersey after the haka was complete and handed it to Foley's sons Tony and Dan.



Munster won 27-14

fair play lads.

42 years. It wakens one up as to how short life can be. Even the fittest of people can't be guaranteed a long life. Enjoy it while you have it.
