The PRO12 regular season concluded on Saturday with wins for all four Irish provinces.
The table finished with Leinster on top, just pipping Connacht.
It has been a stunning season for the western province. Finishing second means they secured a home semi-final against Glasgow, who they actually beat 14-7 on Saturday.
Last night was one of recognition for Pat Lam's side.
At the PRO12 Awards, Bundee Aki was named the Players' Player of the Season.

Connacht also had seven players included in the PRO12 Dream Team.
Just three players in the Dream Team came from outside of the Irish provinces. Leinster's Josh van der Flier, Ben Te'o and Isa Nacewa were also named along with Munster's CJ Stander and Ulster winger Craig Gilroy.
