But Exeter's is a nice story of sustainable growth and team work over many tears finally reaching the pinnacle of the game.
So well done Exeter, bad luck Wasps, but nice to see teh top two teams duke it out.
Even better; in the Pro12 Llanelli won the Pro 12 final playing sparkling rugby and putting the generally more dour Munster to the sword scoring 7 tries.
Absolutely delighted. When Llanelli reach peak performance they are a joy to watch and almost irresistible, bit like a better version of Wasps

I am amazed they managed to reach those peaks 2 weeks on the trot in the hostile atmosphere of the Dublin Aviva stadium against the might of Leinster and Munster.
Absolutely amazing performances because both were completely dominant against atypically subdued Irish provinces, perhaps Llanelli just didn't let them get on the front foot, I don't care anyway.
Northampton beat Stade in a bad tempered scrappy game at Franklin's Gardens for the last place in next years European Cup, so Saints got something out of a year where they were massively less than the sum of their parts, had Wood sent off but a massive performance by Lawes dragged them over the line with a late try convert nervelessly by Mallinder Jnr from the touchline for the win.
The Super 14 reaches its climax next week but the runaway league leaders La Rochelle were dumped out by Toulon, let's hope Clermont dump Toulon out in the final.
Then it will straight on to the Lions tour, phew!
