Peter O'Mahony hailed the heart and fight of his Munster team as the province ended 12 long years of hurt to claim a heroic URC Championship in Cape Town. 

The Munster captain was an observer on the sidelines for the dramatic conclusion to Saturday's Grand Final having been forced off with a first-half head injury. However, after watching back row partner John Hodnett barge over late on for the deciding score in a quite gripping contest O'Mahony hailed Munster's never-say-die spirit.
