The 10th anniversary season of European club rugby’s premier tournament turned into a triumph for coach Guy Noves – who has guided Toulouse to that unique treble in 1996, 2003 and 2005 – and captain Fabien Pelous.

The tense final in Edinburgh on 22 May, 2005, failed to produce a try even though extra time was needed to separate the great rivals with Toulouse centre Yannick Jauzion taking the man of the match award in front of a crowd of 51,326.

A year earlier London Wasps had become the seventh club to win the silverware when they beat defending champions Toulouse 27-20 in a Twickenham thriller that was widely hailed as the best of the nine finals in the history of the tournament.

With extra time looming at 20-20, an 11th hour opportunist try by scrum half Rob Howley settled the cut-and-thrust contest that had enthralled the 73,057-strong crowd on 23 May, 2004. It was rugby of the highest quality heavily laced with real drama.

Wasps had earned their first final appearance by beating Munster 37-32 in a Dublin semi-final – and another match that seemed to have everything – while Toulouse triumphed 19-11 in the all-French contest with Biarritz Olympique in a packed Chaban Delmas, Bordeaux.

Wasps’ victory denied Toulouse the honour of being the first club to win the Heineken Cup crown three times – albeit only delaying that honour for another 12 months – the French giants having become only the second team to win the title twice when they added the 2003 title to their 1996 crown.

Leicester Tigers had created European club rugby history a year earlier when they made the first successful defence of the Heineken Cup title.

Toulouse joined them as double winners on 24th May, 2003, when they won the first final to be contested by teams from the same country by beating Perpignan 22-17 in the first strictly French affair at Lansdowne Road, Dublin.

Toulouse now top Europe’s premier club rugby tournament roll of honour ahead of the Tigers and other previous champions Brive, Bath, Ulster, Northampton Saints and London Wasps.

The tournament is now embarking on its 11th season after it all began in the unlikely surrounds of the Romanian Black Sea resort of Constanta back on 31st October, 1995.

In just 10 years since then it has taken Euro rugby by storm, catching the imagination of players and supporters like a forest fire. Attendances for last season totaled a record 920,239 – a massive 103,872 more than the old mark set a year earlier – while it is also the vital higher stepping stone between domestic tournaments and the international stage.

The tournament was launched in the summer of 1995 on the initiative of the then Five Nations Committee – now the Six – in order to provide a new level of professional cross border competition.

Some of the legends of the game will return for this tournament including Pat Rafter, Stefan Edberg and Goran Ivanisevic, the royal albert hall is an amazing venue to see players close up.

This tournament offers the perfect combination of drama, tension and skill with competitive singles and entertaining doubles matches taking place each session. The doubles event is more relaxed but still makes for compelling viewing, with wonderful displays from crowd favourites Henri Leconte, Mansour Bahrami, Pat Cash and a host of other legends of the game.

Former Wimbledon finalist Mark Philippoussis is to return to the city that he so nearly conquered when he plays in the AEGON Masters Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall in London, December 1-6.

Philippoussis, who also reached the final of the US Open during his career, will be making his debut on the ATP Champions Tour when he lines up alongside fellow grass-court greats Goran Ivanisevic, Pat Rafter and Stefan Edberg at the season-ending event. For Philippoussis, who beat Andre Agassi on his way to the 2003 Wimbledon final before losing to Roger Federer, it will be an opportunity to renew rivalries and rekindle his relationship with the British public.

The event, which has featured an array of Wimbledon champions including Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras every December since 1997, will now be known as the AEGON Masters Tennis, further extending the life assurance and pensions company’s involvement in the sport. Having already become the Lead Partner of British Tennis in January 2009, the title sponsorship of the AEGON Masters Tennis ensures that AEGON is involved in tennis at every level – from grass roots development to international professional tournaments, and now to the sport’s most celebrated champions.

Controversy ensued in the months leading up to the event with artists, promoters and fans weighing in both for and against. Jay-Z responded to this saying, “We don’t play guitars, Noel, but hip hop has put in its work like any other form of music. This headline show is just a natural progression. Rap music is still evolving. We have to respect each other’s genre of music and move forward.”[45] In response to Gallagher’s criticism, Jay-Z opened his Glastonbury set with a tongue-in-cheek cover of Oasis’s iconic song “Wonderwall”.[46] His Glastonbury performance was heralded as a successful response to pre-festival criticism.[47]

When Gallagher was asked about the incident he replied “Someone asked me about the fact that Glastonbury hadn’t sold out for the first time in years, and if it was because of Jay-Z. From there it grew into this crap that I was standing on an orange crate at Speakers’ Corner saying, ‘Gather round, brothers and sisters. Have you heard what’s happening at Glastonbury this year?’ I’ve hung out with Jay-Z in Tokyo. It’s not my bag, but it’s all right.”[48] When Jay-Z was asked about Gallagher’s comments he said “I heard he was reaching out. I don’t bear any grudge, it’s all good. I just don’t believe in good music and bad music, I’ve always said that.”. and said that he would be interested in collaborating with Oasis in the future.[49]

He also headlined many other summer festivals in 2008, including Roskilde Festival in Denmark,[50] Hove Festival in Norway[51] and O2 Wireless Festival in London.[52] Jay-Z also stated that after he finishing touring he will work on a new album.[53] Timbaland has previously stated that he will be producing the entire album.[54] Recently, however, Jay-Z went on record to say that it is not guaranteed to be a full Timbaland production.[55] During Kanye West’s August 6, 2008 concert at Madison Square Garden, Jay-Z came out to perform a new song and he and Kanye proclaimed that it was to be on The Blueprint 3.[56] On May 21, 2009, Jay-Z announced he would be parting ways with Def Jam, and had stuck a multi-million dollar deal to sign for Live Nation, which he would start his Roc Nation imprint which would serve as a record label, talent/management agency, and music publishing company[57] and also partnered up with production team Stargate to start a record label called StarRoc.[58][59] Jay-Z’s 11th studio album The Blueprint 3 was originally to be released on September 11, 2009 but was instead released on September 8, 2009 due to illegal downloading.[60] It is his 11th album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200[61] and has surpassed Elvis Presley’s previous record, making him the current record holder.[6]

Otherwise, Johnson has kept faith with strict five are struggling themselves against impose a wallabies and named the same back division for a third consecutive week.

Haskell is one of the few England players returning from the tour of New Zealand with his reputation enhanced after two impressive performances against the All Blacks.
