So, how to explain modern Munster rugby, the phenomenon of the team and their fanatical following? Well, like their chosen anthem, it was all born of protest. Rugby offered a chance in garrison towns to take on the Brits. Rugby here is not posh, but fiercely proud, especially at Thomond Park. Here, in 1978, Munster beat New Zealand, and here not a single Heineken Cup match has ever been lost. - Eddie Butler, The Observer 22 Oct 2006
