Munster v Glasgow match to go ahead


Munster's clash with Glasgow Warriors will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday despite the death of the Irish province's head coach, Anthony Foley.
 
Foley died of a heart problem in Paris on Saturday night. The 42-year-old's death led to the postponement of Munster's Pool 1 Championship clash against Racing 92 last weekend.

"EPCR can officially confirm that the Munster Rugby v Glasgow Warriors Champions Cup, Round 2 match will be played as scheduled at Thomond Park on Saturday," European Professional Club Rugby said via a statement on Wednesday. 

"The decision was made after close consultation with the Munster management."

EPCR also requested "that a minute's silence or a minute's applause" be observed in Foley's memory be observed at all Round 2 matches in the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup.
