Tournament organisers have announced that Munsters European Champions Cup pool game against Glasgow will be played as scheduled in Limerick on Saturday.Munster head coach Anthony Foley died at the team hotel in Paris last weekend before Munsters scheduled Champions Cup match against Racing 92, which was postponed as a result. The 42-year-olds funeral will take place in County Clare on Friday.In a statement, EPCR said: EPCR can officially confirm that the Munster Rugby v Glasgow Warriors Champions Cup, Round 2 match will be played as scheduled at Thomond Park on Saturday [kick-off 1300].The decision was made after close consultation with the Munster management.At this particularly difficult time following the passing of Anthony Foley, EPCR would like to once again convey its deepest sympathies to the Foley family and to everyone at Munster Rugby.EPCR has requested that a minutes silence or a minutes applause in Anthonys memory be observed at all Round 2 matches in the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup.A French coroner said on Tuesday that Foley died due to a heart condition which led to a build-up of fluid in his lungs.Former back-row forward Foley played 62 times for Ireland, led Munster to their first European Cup victory in 2006 and was central to the provinces repeat success two years later.He scored 39 tries for his province and made 86 appearances in European competition before taking on backroom roles from 2009. He was named head coach in 2014.Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, speaking at a Munster press conference on Wednesday afternoon, was asked about the decision to play the match and the planned tribute for Foley.He said: We dont want to miss this opportunity for him. Its a tough choice. Its not easy either way but we dont want to miss this opportunity.A funeral Mass for Foley on Friday takes place in St Flannans Church in his home town of Killaloe, Co Clare.Ireland and Munster back row Peter OMahony broke down as he tried to put into words what the late coach meant to him and the club. He recalled Foley being as happy with the narrow win in his first game as a 60-point victory.He was a man that wanted a Munster jersey win, he said. Im not going to do him justice here. Its all the words I can say to be honest.Erasmus said: Although an Irish and Munster rugby hero and a great friend of ours, this time its about a husband, father, son and brother and a fallen friend. Let us not forget that.The director of rugby said Thomond held a special place in Axel Foleys heart.As difficult as it will be to play the next game no matter the time the opposition or the venue, we have an opportunity to play there this Saturday. Thats something thats hugely important to all of us, he said.He would never want us to say that the game is secondary, its just not the man he was, but it will be. Its all about Anthony, now, and this weekend and will be for a long time.OMahony added: The amount that we have lost now that he has gone is incredible -- the rugby knowledge and brain, the man and the friend and coach and brother that we have lost. Its mad.Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend said: It has been a tough week for world rugby. You saw the reaction from all over the world, not just in rugby but in sport.It is such a loss for our game, a huge loss for Munster rugby so our thoughts go with them and Anthonys family.We played against each other a number of times. I think we played each other in the schoolboy teams a long time ago, the Munster games and Ireland.He was aggressive and intelligent too. A really good modern number eight with a great ball-carrying side to his game.I was looking forward to catching up with him. He was always very good after games whether Munster won or we won. As I got to know him more as coaches he would always come up and chat with you and be honest and share what was going on in his world as a coach.

CHICAGO -- The up-and-down Pittsburgh Pirates need to right their ship and do it rather quickly.Kyle Hendricks threw seven dominant innings of three-hit ball to lower the majors best ERA to 2.09 and Anthony Rizzo homered to lead the Chicago Cubs past the Pirates 3-0 on Tuesday night.After a rare four-game sweep in Milwaukee, the Pirates lost their second straight game to fall 2 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the final wild card berth.I dont look (at the scoreboard), manager Clint Hurdle said. I gave up a long time ago. It doesnt help.Instead, Hurdle watched Hendricks (13-7) give up three or fewer runs in his 18th straight start. He didnt allow a hit until Gregory Polancos bloop to left-center in the fifth and faced the minimum 17 batters until John Jasos two-out double in the sixth.All you got to do is look at (Hendricks) overall numbers, the command, the execution, Hurdle marveled. I thought I was back in 1987 with Greg Maddux on the mound.Rizzo belted a two-run homer off starter Chad Kuhl (3-2) in the first and Miguel Montero added an RBI single an inning later as the Cubs improved to 84-47.It was tough for me in the early going to get in rhythm for whatever reason, but I found myself (later), Kuhn said.Carl Edwards Jr. worked the eighth and Aroldis Chapman finished the four-hitter for his 31st save as the Cubs improved to 21-6 this month, one win shy of the best August in franchise history set in 1932.Hendricks, who began the season as the No. 5 starter, is well ahead of No. 2 Madison Bumgarner of San Francisco (2.49) in the ERA race. He mixed his below-average 90 mph fastball with a dominant changeup and sinker to strike out four.It has to be Cy Young contention, manager Joe Maddon said of Hendricks season. Put the radar gun in your back pocket and look at what hes doing. That has to be strong considerration, not just consideration.dddddddddddd. Its been very, very impressive.Andrew McCutchens one-out single in the seventh was the other hit off the right-hander. Hendricks is seeking to become the first Cubs pitcher to win the major league ERA title since Bill Lee in 1938.Since Sept. 1, 2015, Hendricks is 18-7 with a 2.25 ERA.Kuhl, in his ninth major league start, allowed three runs and four hits in five innings as the Pirates lost their second straight after winning four in a row.Jordy Mercer doubled with two outs off Edwards in the eighth before pinch-hitter Matt Joyce flied deep to center to end Pittsburghs best threat.Chapman hit 103 mph while striking out one in a perfect ninth.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (elbow inflammation) played catch, a day after being put on the 15-day disabled list. He could return as soon as Sept. 9. Hopefully, (the rehab) will go quickly, Cole said. . INF Jung Ho Kang (shoulder), working out with Indianapolis, is expected to begin an official rehab stint with the Triple-A team this week.Cubs: RHP John Lackey (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Thursday. If it goes well, he could start Sunday vs. San Francisco.SUSPECT FIELDA large chunk of the outfield in center and right fields was re-sodded and looks chewed up after Wrigley Field hosted Pearl Jam and Billy Joel concerts while the Cubs were away.Its like a field after a concert, RF Jason Heyward said.UP NEXTRHP Jason Hammel (13-7, 3.21) was moved up to start Wednesday nights series finale against RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-3, 3.02). LHP Mike Montgomery was pushed to Thursday. Hammel was lifted after allowing three runs in 2 1/3 innings Saturday. He wants to get back out there, manager Joe Maddon said. ' ' '
