So here we are; the grand final of the Terry Phelan Hall of Fame rugby special. Peter Clohessy and Eric Elwood lock horns for a coveted spot alongside other under-appreciated titans of their sports, including Tony Yeboah, Angel Cabrera and Larry Reilly. But first let's remind ourselves how both finalists got to this stage.

Two weeks ago, in the first semi-final, former Munster prop Clohessy romped to victory over Ulster's David Humphreys.

And last week, ex-Connacht player and coach Eric Elwood had an equally convincing victory over Leinster's be-mulleted Shane Byrne.
