    I stayed up and watched this match and am so glad I did, it was an absolute cracker in my humble opinion.
    I hope someone was able to get a recording of it to share with others?
    To me it was almost a documentary on what it is to be a "Band of Brothers" in a Rugby Team and also what supporter pride is really all about. The "sixteenth man" as it is reffered to.
    Words will not do it justice however, beg borrow or steal a copy and you will see what I mean.
    Hopefully Mitch will sit the boys down in front of it to study as an example of what we can eventually achieve in Western Australia.

    Ditto Burgs, I was at a party and it was turned on by popular demand. A very exciting hard fought match right to the end....well done Munster and how about the streets scenes in Ireland.....now that's support!

    Have you ever heard a crowd like that? Only saw the second half but the atmosphere came thru the TV. It was played in Cardiff wasn't it? So well done to the fans of both teams.

    As an aside the way the the game has been restructured in Ireland has some interesting parallels to what the ARU is endeavouring to achieve here. Maintaining international competitiveness is the goal. Ireland is starting to show the benefits.
