In 2001, I traveled in a camper van with friends to watch Munster in the Heineken Cup semi-final against Stade Francais. There were wild theories that the match was moved to Lille to avoid a video referee, which added to the event’s mystique.
Looking back, the camaraderie and excitement of that trip resonate deeply. It wasn't just a match; it was about friendship, adventure, and the highs and lows of sport, epitomized by the atmosphere in Lille.
