Saracens are probably feeling a tad annoyed. All the glory at Twickenham - beating Leicester in a thriller only to realise that Munster have just stolen that glory in winning the Magners League.
Although they probably weren't the favorites, Munster pulled off great show. Leinster had won the Heineken Cup against Northampton just last week and were probably expected to come out on top.
At one point, Munster were put down to fourteen men as on forty-seven Donncha O'Callaghan was sinbinned. But Jonny Sexton couldn't keep his side going, as he did in the Heineken cup final, even though he scored all of Leinster's nine points. So, Leinster ended the game with nine points.
But Munster did more than that.
With two tries from Howlett and Earls, a penalty try was also awarded by the referee. O'Gara added the extras.
Munster completed a 19-9 victory to win the Magners League title.
