[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 500608, member: 53057"] (in no particular order) Manchester United vs Chelsea Champions league final 2008 My school annoyingly was doing a musical that the whole year had to take part in. I was a bit part and remember at least ten of us watching the match on one guy's tiny phone with a radio that was 5 minutes ahead on. After the show I got my parents to race us home listening to the radio on the way I missed Tevez's penalty but saw the rest. So dramatic. Saint Mary's College vs Kilkenny College 11-5 Junior Cup first round Will get some slagging for this but it was the first time I'd played in front of a proper crowd. Was incredible and the feeling of winning was like nothing I'd experienced before. We tore them apart in the first half but couldn't make it count. Second half the ref wouldn't stop blowing against us but a great defensive effort saw us through pity it didn't stay for the next match... Leinster vs Northampton 2011 Heineken Cup Final What needs to be said to explain this one. Everyone thought we were down and out at half time but then a miracle. St Mary's College vs Gonzaga College Foster Cup Final 2012 Not a big tournament but first time I won a proper tournament some incredibly dramatic matches along the way but this topped them all. My favorite moment was when I got an intercept (for those few who don't know I'm a prop) unfortunately it didn't lead to a try as the guy I offloaded to knocked on but a big thrill for me none the less. Any way an exciting game went on but with ten minutes to go it looked like we were certain winners being ten points up then suddenly they got two tries. Suddenly we were behind we battered away but were getting nowhere then we had a ruck halfway between the 22 and the halfway on the right hand side 5. Our 13 spotted that the only defender was a prop ran over got the ball off the 9 went down the wing and stepped the fullback running under the posts with 30 seconds to go. Everyone went mental after. Wales vs Ireland 2009 6 Nation Another dramatic match. My whole family on my Mum's side got together for it. Everyone went crazy for Bowe's try and even crazier when RO'G got the drop goal then the silence when Stephen Jones lined up the penalty and going even more mental when he missed was incredible. Loads of other memories thankfully which could have made it. [/QUOTE]
