Neil Francis: A final with all the appeal of a can of date-expired spam

A bag of ham of a game decided by the meteorological Gods! For Racing to win they needed their halves to be on the park and in the full of their health. They needed the ground to be dry and they needed to be able to pass the ball without making mistakes. This did not happen, and all Saracens needed to do was manage their game better, keep their heads and make sure that their front five worked as efficiently as they have done throughout the competition.
