As per usual we would ask you to keep all speculation to yourself - please keep all discussion surrounding the details of Anthony's passing to official statements.

Goodbye to one of Ireland's greats and thoughts are with his family.

Absolutely shocked and gutted. Just heard about it on Sky. Tyrone Howe could barely keep his composure. Such a huge legend for Munster and Ireland.

May he rest in peace.
