    So we have done the big one. The question is what happens next. I see that Paul O'Connell is saying that Munster can dominate next season. Definately possible but the we see the likes of Leinster making some big signings.

    Munster should have some players coming back from injury... Mullins.... Sheehan (though will he find it easy to get his spot back given Flannerys excellent season). Any word on who they are/might be signing? Or who they should be looking at?

    One thing they should do is release Cullen.. mainly because he is injury prone and costing us money rather than making plays and he is not the man he was 5 years ago..

    Sugnings are all well and good but I would be looking at bring the AIL club players into the squad as well, Cronin seemed to have a massive game against Clontarf and there is some other fine players coming up as well

    Think Cullen is still worth it, if you look at google search trends, Munster is surprisingly highly googled in New Zealand. Cullen gives us a resonance in NZ that few other players could, would Manning have been so willing to join if he hadn't seen that players like Cullen also played here?

    With Murphy and Cullen back, and Manning and O'Leary more experienced, even our 2nd or non-international team is looking reasonably strong.

    I can't wait to see the Halstead/Murphy partnership in the centre of the field. Just hope neither of them get second season syndrome.

    My biggest worry really is if the team will be motivated enough to win it a second time. The HC has been Munster's holy grail for years now and they have played like possessed men in order to right the wrongs that have been done to them or make up for opportunities that would have haunted them forever.
    Now that they have their cup, I worry that they might lose some of that X factor which has seen them through thick and thin.
