Neil Francis: Carpe diem attitude translates to a truly dominant display

This final was to be a daring adventure or nothing at all. Connacht have displayed all season an incorruptible honesty that just couldn't be denied. The worry was the occasion might overcome them or Leinster might rediscover themselves from distant memory. At all stages in the pre-match and during the absorbing 80 minutes we witnessed, Connacht played with the thoughts menacing their character that you can't recover yesterday, nor would tomorrow be in their grasp either. Now was their time.
