Anyone know when will the trophy be presented? Was wondering if it will be at the Cardiff match or at the Ospreys match.

From Magners League website:

A formal trophy presentation will take place at Thomond Park Stadium, Limerick, following Munster's last home game of the season against Ospreys on Friday 15 May.

Yup, just got my tickets there. Should be a good night.

good stuff but we all know we have more important game(s) left in the season.

Congrats Munster....lets hope we can repeat the trick in the HEC.

Rigel

Congratulations Munster well deserved.

I can't figure out the Hairsprays tactics tonight it was like they had already given up the chase by going for the posts (and missing) when they should have been going for the touch line and that drop goal when they could have run the ball.

Fair play to Munster. Best team in the Magners league this season by far.
Although wont be any consolation if they lose on Saturday.

Congrats from a Leinster fan, well deserved, the most consistant team by a mile this year. Some squad of players you have currently.

They didn't look like they were interested... I wonder if the Lions were thinking of TOL and the result was that they really didn't want to get involved. If I was an Ospreys fan I'd have rather seen a second team out who actually only cared about getting the BP. Awful match but sealed things for Munster

Great news and ticket bought for the ospreys game to see the cup home. Great day all round. Lets hope leads into a great weekend of rugby

sock puppet

Congrats Munster. Now 3 Irish provinces have won the league (in its current format). Hopefully Leinster will make amends this Saturday

cruiserweight

Congratulations to Munster

suppafly

Thats great, just bought my ticket for the ospreys game too to see them getting the Cup. Hopefully things go our way this saturday too

Zzippy

Congrats to Munster, great team and being able to compete in both major competitions and have a chance of winning both is a huge achievement, shows the depth and quality of the whole squad.

NotWormBoy

Well done Munster, fully deserved - if it wasn't to be Leinster, I'd rather no other team won it than Munster!

zenmonk

So much for the - Munster don't care about the ML jibes this season!
Mc Gahan even without ever winning a HCup will have earned his stripes as a rookie now. Well done to Micko and the rest of the "squad " members who kept the flag flying while the glorious grand slam was being achieved.
Half way there!! Roll on tomorrow (nervous!!!)

Great to see the trophy staying in the country. Well done Munster. Deserved winners.

I think everyone has forgotten this after today. *sigh*. :(:o

Nope, just worried confidence will be too low to put in a good performance against the ospreys in the last game in Thomond for the season, would like to see them finish on a high and collect the trophy with smiles on their faces.

I know you're enthusiastic about all things Munster but look on the bright side. An Irish ML champ, a possible Irish ERC champ, record number of Lions and all in a Grand Slam year for the national team on top of record crowds and TV viewerships! Shannon v Clontarf in the AIB League Div 1 final next weekend too.
What a bloody season 2008/09 is turning out to be.

Be proud. Be very proud of Irish rugby union.

Well thats natural. Would you prefer the ML or the HC? Both prestigious competitions but the HC is of a higher standard

And so it should.
Remember that there's only one thing harder than winning a Cup.
Retaining it.

Seeing as Leinster can go on and win the cup this year, and we have the league and it was the reverse last year, How about we swap every second year from now on? :pac:
