The Māori All Blacks pay tribute to Anthony Foley

Big result for Bafana Bafana who took a step closer towards qualification for Russia 2018.

As for the Proteas well rain got the better of Day 2 of the second Test against the Aussies but one must commend them for bowling out the Baggie Greens for 85 in the 1st innings, big Vern what a legend.

Then our beloved Springboks - well my prediction was England by 15 and I was 1 off with the pommies winning 37-21 and I won't say anymore.

But for me, the highlight of the weekend and possibly in rugby this season happened in a match that was a bit low key and not top of the agenda .

The Māori All Blacks pay tribute to Anthony Foley (All Blacks B team) showed that rugby in more than just a game. It is about respect and brotherhood. The Māori All Blacks were in limerick to take on Irish Giants Munster in a tour match but the day will not be forgotten for one special reason.

Munster suffered a tragedy last month with head coach Anthony Foley passing away at the team hotel the day before a match.

Foley was Ireland and Munster legend and only aged 42 he certainly was a big loss for rugby as a whole.

Now this is what I call to respect and stuff that makes my spine tingle.

Before performing the traditional pre-game Haka, captain Ash Dixon and three members of the team walked to the half-way line and placed a jersey with the late Munster head coach's initials between both sides as a mark of respect to him.

 
After completing the Haka, Dixon then presented Foley's sons, Dan and Tony with the jersey. Munster won the match 27-14 but for me, the real winners of the day were the All Blacks Māori team.
