Warren Gatland doesn't know what he's missing out on.
It looked for the life of us that it was going to be a complete whitewash for Irish teams at the weekend.
Leinster were dumped out of the Guinness Pro 12 by Scarlets on Friday night after a torrid performance.
Matters were made worse when Pat Lam bowed out with a big fat loss as Connacht failed to qualify for the 2017/18 Champions Cup after a 21-15 defeat to Northampton.
So it was up to Munster, as it always is.

With thanks to the stunning try, we'll get to see Simon Zebo play once more this league season, when Munster face Scarlets in the PRO12 Final next Saturday at the Aviva Stadium after overcoming the Ospreys 23-3.
Very fair from the Ireland boss. Scotland came to the Aviva Stadium with a Six Nations title on their minds, but these dreams were firmly put to down bed by an Ireland side who were on top from minute one to 80. Aside from the stellar displays from most of the players, another aspect of […]
Another top performance! Our Ireland player ratings as Andy Farrell’s men put in a six-try performance to defeat Scotland. Tom O’Toole – 8.5 The Ulsterman’s switch to loosehead looks to be paying real dividends with another great showing in the scrum, the highlight of which was an early penalty that led to Jamie Osborne’s try.
