Yeah, it did happen. I was at the game and some of them were supporting NH Saints and were particularly enjoying rubbing our noses in it at halftime (Saints fans near us were sound though) , the "Munster Saints" started to slither off back into their holes when the tables started to turn in the second half!
Really disappointed in the few muppets that supported Saints over another Irish team though in fairness, that was made up for by the amount of other nationals who shouted for Leinster that day!
I still think of the Millennium Stadium on that day as my "Happy Place"!
There were also people with Munster jerseys and Leicester scarves at the '09 final.
"This is breathless stuff.....it's on again. Contepomi out to Hickie,D'Arcy,Hickie.......................HICKIE FOR THE CORNER! THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beaten the reigning Heineken Cup Champions
Beaten the reigning Pro 14 Champions (assuming Scarlets win their quarter final)
Beaten the reigning Top 14 Champions
Also if we beat Connacht when we play them in April in Galway - a domestic clean sweep.
And then win the Pro 14 in the Aviva.
I doubt we'll manage even half those targets.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.
We should have no worries about beating the only English team left and the one that scraped last place in the quarters. The Premiership teams hold no fears for us if we are well managed.

Not this shite again! Who cares who opposition fans support, main thing is to focus on supporting our own team. These random rules of alternative support etiquette are pretty bizarre in my opinion.

€72.95 for Premium west stand where we were for the Exeter game. Have they jacked up the prices from last years QF against Wasps? Lets hope they dont get greedy and dont fill the stadium.
