The outburst of joy over Munster’s thunderous trophy-winning victory in Cape Town against the highly dangerous Stormers is hugely deserved, coming as it does off the back of an air travel schedule that would give Greta Thunberg sleepless nights.

After a wait of 12 years for a cup, the win for Graham Rowntree’s side has replenished confidence following the disappointments of Leinster’s performance against La Rochelle, and ensures that Irish rugby ends the season, ahead of the World Cup, on an upbeat.
