Dust settles on another exciting season |
| "For those who love the unexpected this was a bumper season proving all over again that rugby is the greatest game in the world when it comes to overturning the form book." John Taylor draws a line under the European season |

 |
Munster clinch Europe's biggest prize |
| "A thrilling finale? Maybe not. Tense? Without doubt. Dramatic? Of course. Memorable? You bet." Graham Jenkins reports from the Heineken Cup finale in Cardiff |
