Hugh Farrelly writes in the Irish Independent that Munster's Magners League triumph on Saturday against Leinster completed a successful season for Irish rugby.
"Not a bad way to round off a long, tiring but, ultimately, extremely positive season for Irish rugby.
"Irish provinces won both the Magners League and Heineken Cup -- throw in Ulster's resurgence plus Connacht making the elite European competition for the first time and the 2010/11 season must be marked down as a successful campaign.
"When you consider that Ireland had the ability to win the Six Nations, were it not for a touch of self-doubt against France and an inexcusable lapse of officialdom in Wales, the signs are extremely encouraging ahead of the World Cup, now just over three months away."
