Current Munster coach and former provincial and international teammate of Foley, Jerry Flannery, says that the event is "a fantastic idea."
“I’m involved and would love to see as many people as possible answering the call to come along and scrum it out. We’re remembering Anthony by setting a world record and raising money for a good cause in the process,” Flannery told the Nenagh Guardian.Robert Lewis, who is a Sports Management student at LIT, revealed how the idea came about.
"The idea for the scrum came about shortly after Mr. Foley's passing as it seemed a fitting way to commemorate him and a way of raising money for charity. “We are calling on people to come along on April 4th and join in the scrum. In the run up to it, we are asking people to form their own Scrum for Axel and post it on social media under the hashtag #scrumforaxel."The event is supported by Shannon RFC, a club close to the heart of the Foley family. Members of the public are encouraged to join in on the day.
