Tony Ward: If an Irish side won in the style of Saracens we'd all be delighted

On Saturday at the Grand Stade de Lyon, they came of age when adding their name to the ten previous winners of the most sought-after trophy outside of the international arena in northern hemisphere rugby. Ten successful penalties and three line-breaks (two to Racing) over the course of 80 minutes says it all about the quality of the game.
