'Memory of Axel to the forefront is of everyone's mind'

Ten years on from the sudden death of Anthony Foley, the list of the players and coaches left in the Munster dressingroom who either played with or under the province's legendary captain is now a small one. On the coaching ticket, assistants Denis Leamy and Mossy Lawler and analyst George Murray would have all either played with or worked alongside 'Axel' at some stage. Of the playing group, back row Jack O’Donoghue and out-half JJ Hanrahan are the only two who would have made debuts while Foley was in charge of the province.
