Connacht PRO12 final victory against Leinster would please the romantics

For the sporting romantics, this evening’s Guinness PRO12 final, at Murrayfield, is a no-brainer. 

They hope that plucky Connacht will make the dream a reality.

In the other corner are the pragmatists, who see today’s all-Irish dust-up, with Leinster, as the point at which class will out, when a team oozing with international quality finally comes to the boil, after a disappointing season, and stamps its authority on the noisy neighbours.
