The crowd attending the final was substantially larger than any previous final. And by winning that team made possible Professional ( full-Time) rugby in Ireland-- prior to 99 their was no Celtic league worthy of the name and most to the players were only part time professionals training before and after work.
At what point did I belittle them? My message was quite clear, do not belittle Benettons achievement.

Come on Rum, you're smarter than this.....

Great to see Benetton play with some of that verve they showed against us back in October, whilst doing well up front too.

Thoroughly deserved win on the night.

Hope they can keep their 10 for a good few years. Nice finish for Hayward who’s been good to watch.

Seems like the SA sides might not travel so well. Traditionally they didn't in super rugby. At home with altitude it will be a different story.
