    Right seeing as the season is finished now following the CC, what are peoples high/low lights from the last year?

    For myself:

    Highs:
    Leinster doing the double on Munster
    Leinster winning Magners League
    Munster winning HC
    EOS Leaving
    New players beginning to come through

    Lows:
    RWC 07
    Leinster's early exit from HC
    The incoming ELVs
    Connaught blowing a great chance to qualify for HC

    Highs:

    Rob Kearney
    ( Seeing GD, GM and RK all on the field at once V Aus and RK maintaining FB! )
    Leinster winning something !
    ( Could have been a cuddly toy from the fair, but had to bring some tangiable return from last few years )
    EOS let go
    ( Too late ! :mad: )
    RWC
    ( Had a deadly time at it :) )
    Munster , European Champions and Leinster 2 times Champions of them ;)

    Lows
    Leinster inconsistent Heino campaign
    Munster winning Heino ;) jealous.
    RWC
    ( in between enjoying myself, a few critical events occured, namely Irelands matches )
    The 6N game to salvage a bit fo pride V England.
    ( would EOS have gone if we won though....:confused: )

    Highs
    Munster winning the HEC
    A reasonable Churchill Cup campaign for Ire A
    The introduction of Kearney and Heaslip to the Irish Squad
    If Munster didn't then at least Leinster winning the ML
    Ulster turning it round mid-season
    Kidney getting the Top Job

    Lows
    Munster losing out on the ML after 3 very disappointing results - Cardiff away, the re-fixed Ulster game (it could have been a 5 pointed for Munster if played as scheduled) and losing our final match against Glasgow and 4 poor officials.
    The RWC
    Poor 6Ns
    Losing Kidney, Jim Williams and Foley all in the same year
    Connacht not gaining while Ulster were poor
    So many Ulster players allowed sign for foreign teams - not good for the developement of the game.
    Losing to Leinster - twice.
    The bad weather at most of our games.

    Highs:
    Munster winning HEC, again.
    SA playing at the Sportsground, and Connacht playing very well against them
    Emergence of some new exciting talent and seeing them get their chance in the international team - Rob Kearney in particular, if he gets even better we've a lot to look forward to from him
    EOS going, eventually

    Lows:
    Connacht blowing a big chance to qualify for the HEC
    Losing to Munster when we had chances to win the game
    RWC 07
    6N, although I was away in Argentina for most of it, it was depressing getting the England result from home.
    EOS staying on too long
    BOD looking like a shadow of his former self
    Lack of decent young props coming through meaning Marcus Horan still playing for Ireland
