A meteorite strikes Cardiff during the ERC Cup Final, prior to the Munster/Leicester match, killing both Declan Kidney & Dean Richards.
They both ascend to heaven and are met by the Boss. "Welcome Gentlemen" says God," Allow me to show you to your accommodation." He takes Dean for a short walk through the beautiful countryside to a lovely little cottage. The thatch roof forms a Leicester Tiger, the bees in the garden gently hum 'Sweet Chariot' and beside the path are statues of Martin Johnson and Austin Healy. "Gosh, lord, I don't know what to say!" says Dean, and goes inside.
While checking the kitchen, he glances out of the window and up the hill, to see a glorious stately mansion. The huge lawn is covered in shamrocks and giant potatoes grow in the veg plot! Eagles fly from the battlements, and fifteen-foot golden statues of Mick Galwey, Peter Clohessy, Ronan O Gara and Peter Stringer stand guard over a colossal flower bed of prize roses spelling out 'Munster Abu'
Going back outside, Dean says to God:" Lord, I'm deeply honoured, but I have to ask - how come Declan Kidneys house is so much...well... nicer?" God laughs and puts a consoling arm around Dean's shoulder. "There, there, Dean!" Says God, "That's not Declan's house - it's mine !"
