EPCR WELCOME
It is with great unity that the European rugby family convenes
for Round 2 of the European Rugby Champions Cup and
Challenge Cup this weekend.
Across all of our matches, a minute of silence or applause will be observed in
memory of the late Anthony Foley, who passed away last weekend in Paris. The
reaction of the world – not just from the rugby community – shows the scale of
his achievements with both Munster Rugby and Ireland, and impresses upon us
what an impact he made as both a player and a coach.
His name is synonymous with Munster’s success in the European Cup and his
legacy long-lasting. Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with his family and
friends.
We thank you for joining us in commemorating the life of Anthony Foley this
weekend and hope that in his honour, we will see some top class rugby in the
tournament he graced so well.

EPCR Chairman
