Ahead of the URC final, I wondered what my knee jerk reaction to a Munster win might be. Happiness of course, but would there be a tinge of jealousy? A dose of melancholy about what might have been? In fact, here was nothing of the sort. Just pure elation. I was at a weekend-long work meeting so didn’t see the game live. I had to rely on the familiar voice of Michael Corcoran to describe the closing stages for me in his uniquely dramatic style.
The punch of the air and roar when he confirmed the job was done left my Canadian roommate in no doubt as to how important this game was to me. What a performance. What a final. What a season. If videos flying around social media are anything to go by, the lads have gone on an almighty thrash, as they should. I hope they savour every second of this feeling because so many of them have toiled for so long in the hope of tasting it.
