Springbok Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus says he will visit the family of former Munster head coach Anthony Foley, who died suddenly in a Paris hotel room in 2016 ahead of a Champions Cup fixture, on his side's European tour next month.
Erasmus, who was Director of Rugby at the union at the time, replaced Foley as head coach for the remainder of that season before joining the Springboks in 2017.
After winning the Rugby World Cup final on 2 November 2019, Erasmus promised an Irish journalist at the post-match press conference that he would visit Foley's grave with his winners' medal at some point in the future.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the accompanying travel restrictions, however, put a stop to any such plans. Next month, though, Erasmus will return to Ireland, where the Boks are in action on 5 November before South Africa A play a midweek game against Munster on 10 November.
