BEFORE 2016 COMES to an end this month, take some time to ask yourself whether you need to sit down and watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom again, or whether you would be better off re-watching one of the brilliant, defining 80-minute periods that made this an excellent year for Irish rugby.
There may have been little to cheer about in the Six Nations and Champions Cup, but in that vacuum Connacht thrived before Ireland pulled themselves to landmark victories in South Africa and Chicago.
Here’s those great days and a few more as an intense Christmas treat. We’ve included links to the full match where available.
