If you've got a sense of humour it's a toss up between Duffy's Bolshoi Ballet audition away to Sarries and Mick Kearney's attempted 22 drop out where he pulled his calf and went off injured.
Edit:
Forgot to mention moonboy Fionn Carr showing us his cheeks away to Toulouse

Torn between Heenan vs. Toulouse and Marmion Every Damn Week.
Best Team Performance (From Connacht)?
Toulouse away.

"Britney" Hibbard coming on for Ospreya, "Clean up to aisle 3" in the worried silence after Henshaw cut Navidi in half against Cardiff.

Best "I was there moment"? Wasn't in Toulouse. Bonus point over Treviso I suppose.
