They came from all four corners of the globe at short notice to see Munster in the BKT URC Grand Final and there will not be many among the travelling Red Army of around 2,000 supporters who will consider it to have been a bad idea.

Certainly not Oonagh O'Mahoney, a Corkwoman living in Surrey, England, who had the added bonus of seeing the Munster-supporting baton pass to a new generation in the form of her teenage son James Collins as their team defied the odds to land a first trophy in 12 years on a giddy night in Cape Town last Saturday.
