After Cardiff RFC lost in the first Heineken Cup final (and I was there!) some 14 years ago, Cardiff Blues finally won European silverware, becoming the first Welsh team to do so, by beating a star studded Toulon in their own back yard in front of 50,000 baying French fans!
Simply awesome performance by Cardiff who dug deep to stun the 18.5 million Euro Toulon side (an unprecedented sum in rugby) to win rugby's equivalent of the Europa League.
Am I happy? Oh yes I am!
C'MOOOOOOONNNNNN CARDIFF!!!!!

The only down side is that Cardiff's victory gives Llanelli a place in the Heineken Cup via the back door next season. Never mind - can't have everything I s'pose!
