Munster and the Maori All Blacks has just kicked off in Thomond Park.

The historic affair continues the tradition of Munster hosting touring sides over the years. The southern province has famously defeated the likes of the All Blacks and Australia over the years, with tonight promising to be another infamous tie.

Before the game the Maori All Blacks stood before Munster to perform the traditionals and world famous haka. What happened beforehand however was truly special.

A member of the Maori All Blacks team approached Irish province and laid out one of their jersey’s with AF embroidered on the back as a symbol of respect to the late, great Anthony Foley who tragically past away last month.

A truly beautiful moment. Maori All Blacks, we salute you.
