An unbelievable turn of events in the 2009 semi-final saw the game between Cardiff and Leicester go to a dramatic penalty shoot-out after the Blues scored two late tries to draw the game in normal time. Relive the tense shootout below:

Jesus… that was emotionally exhausting to watch- and I knew the outcome this time! Brutal way to resolve a game.
As I said on the FB, you’re a bunch of utter, utter sods ruining my Friday morning by dragging this bereavement up like this…
Thanks for this, I’ve never actually seen it. I remember listening to it on the radio and being on tenterhooks
Ironically the one forward you would have backed to take a kick would have been Martyn Williams .
At least the Leicester open-side didn’t blatantly knock the ball out of the opposition scrum half’s hand just b4 the match ended-oh sorry that what they did in a previous final wasn’t it!
This time they only sent a guy back on after he’s been subbed and when they knew a shoot out was coming.
Really sporting team, still when you have the statue of a Medieval hunch-backed child killer in your city……………………………………….
Next we’ll have an ex-Leicester hero using blood capsules to get a sub back on for a drop goal attempt in a tight match.
As I recall this can’t happen in quite this way again – they’ve changed the rules?
Pub quiz question anyway – the only team to not lose a match of rugby and not win the European cup?
