"Unbelievable. I'm so bloody proud I could cry. **** the film, I'm going on the lash. It's my day off anyway. I've a bottle of champagne in the fridge and it stands no chance. Others will follow. Then I shall bore everybody stupid with tales of Munster rugby. Nobody will understand a word, but it will make me feel bloody marvellous."

- Actor Richard Harris, currently filming The Pearl in Mexico, after hearing the news at 10.00 a.m. last Saturday of Munster's victory in Bordeaux.
