What a tremendous set of forwards we had, what an amazing kicker Mason was, what upnunders are supposed to be like ( from Humph), and what tremendous noise.

After the excitement of the quarter and semi finals I actually found the final a bit of a damp squib, after the first 10 mins or so I was totally confident of winning.

If ever there was a game that was about occasion and atmosphere, and not about the quality of the rugby, it was this. Truly memorable and a day like no other, spent with my flag waving 7-yr old. I'm also convinced that this was the day that the possibilities for professional club rugby became apparent to a lot of people on the global stage, 49,000 (and another 20,000 who wanted tickets) watching a club game!!

The most remarkable thing about that campaign was how the feck did Ulster manage to top that Group after such a mediocre start?

Ebbw Vale beating Toulouse in the final game after losing their first game 108-16 has to be the biggest turnaround in the history of world rugby.

We certainly didn't grasp the opportunity and build on it...

That is about parlour the course for you Cockatrice , compare Ravenhill then to Kingspan now I was at the first home game that season Ravenhill was nearly empty you could walk into the stand at half time.

It hasn't been built on --bullsh-t -- It was the foundation stone of Professional Rugby in Ireland.
