Video: Five of the best massive Munster moments

Ahead of a massive weekend for the province, here’s a look at five epic Munster European moments.

With a weakened Munster Rugby facing a massive Heineken Cup Quarter Final against Harlequins, and a load of mysterious Red coloured cans of Red Bull appearing in the office, JOE has been inspired to look back at the some of the defining moments for one of the proudest, and reddest, rugby sides in Europe.

The Miracle Match

The winner of a recent poll for the greatest Heineken Cup moment ever, and it is hard to disagree. Needing to beat Gloucester by 27 points and score four tries, the Thomond crowd witnessed just that to clinch a quarter-final berth in 2003. Revel in the full highlights below.

O’Gara seals the 2006 semi-final win over Leinster

Beating Leinster at Lansdowne Road was pretty sweet for the men in Red and Ronan O’Gara really enjoyed icing the game, leaping into the crowd after scoring the killer try.

Stringer’s quick thinking

The Leinster victory set up this final with Biarritz, which was ultimately decided by this bit of genius by Peter Stringer.

Put on more phases. There are no more phases

The 41-phase build-up to this game winning, last-minute drop goal from a 2011 Pool match against Northampton was, and remains, ridiculous.

Mini miracle

Okay, it wasn’t quite as epic but almost 10 years on from the original Munster showed they still had that old magic this season. Needing to win and put four tries on Racing Metro, the province duly obliged. In the end they got five, including a Simon Zebo hat-trick. That they dumped Leinster out in the process was a bonus too.

Here's to hoping they can rustle up some more magic this weekend.
