well done Munster. The forwards were immense, O'Connell and Flannery are back to their best and fingers crossed it stays that way. After a slow start Munster just blew Toulouse away. Some of the hits were scary, blood seemed to be popping up everywhere. I have to say David Wallace is one strong b**tard, it always takes at least two men to take him down when he goes for a break.

Munster played very well.

Their forwards were all brilliant from 1 to 8.
The backs played well too but I have to say that I was very dissappointed with Daragh Hurley who had a very poor game. Once again Ronan O'Gara was terrible out of hand. Other than his goal kicking he was quite poor.
It was a pity that Howlett's try was dissallowed which would have been the greatest try in a final ever in my opinion.

Are Munster fans mainly from the Limerick/Clare area?

Limerick and Cork cities are the main rugby strongholds in Munster but most towns would have a junior club.

I was at the game so hard to pick out the individual forwards. I agree though that Hurley has terrible game & O'Gara was below par too.

I think the 2006 celebrations were better but feel 2008 will be appreciated by the players more as winning the 2nd time marks out team as special.

No harm Kidney leaving as will be hard to keep standards up. I don't think they need a great deal of strengthening (maybe fullback & prop) for next season as some good players on the bench. In a years time could see a number of retirements such as Quinlan, Hayes, Puccherello etc...

I have it on my PC, but it's a huge file, over 2 GB. I could burn it off to DVD for you?
