Champions of Europe At Last

Today in Cardiff the hopes and dreams of a nation were realised. The Red Tide of Munster finally swept its way to European glory. Every Munster fan who had watched their team so narrowly repelled in the Heiniken Cup these past seven years, and in doing so shared in the pain of their team, had the weight of past defeats lifted from their shoulders. Congratulations to the heroes of Munster, who after so much trying finally ascended to their rightful place as European champions. I am overcome with joy.
