Munster beat Glasgow Warriors 38-17 in their Champions Cup fixture today at Thomond Park on what was always going to be an emotional day for the provincial side.
Tributes poured in from fans and former teammates before the game for former coach Anthony Foley, but it was Axel's players who signed off the day with a tribute to their recently deceased boss.
Shoulder-to-shoulder in the middle of Thomand Park after the final whistle, the players stood with Foley's two sons, Tony and Daniel, as they gave a touching rendition of "Stand Up And Fight".

It wasn't the final song heard on the day though, as the players left the pitch to the tune of "The Fields of Athenry" from the supporters.
