WATCH: Munster and Racing supporters combine for spine-tingling Anthony Foley tribute

This was a wonderful moment - remembering an old warrior before battle commenced.

Munster are taking on French Top 14 side Racing 92 at Stade Yves du Manoir in a vital Champions Cup pool game this afternoon. The match is tinged in sadness as the original fixture was postponed back in October after the tragic passing of Munster head-coach Anthony Foley. Before the game, Racing players - and their defence coach Ronan O'Gara - came together to don red 'A.Foley 8' t-shirts for their warm-up. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/817752336504340480 It was agreed between both sides that there would be a minutes' applause before kick-off and it was remarkably and rousingly observed. O'Gara was joined for the applause by fellow Racing coach Laurent Labit. Emotional viewing.
