Rugby's tale of the unexpected

Simon Barnes admits to being one of those blown away by the finish to Harlequins' epic Heineken Cup clash with Stade Francais. Read his latest piece in The Times.

"Here's a strange truth about sport: any match you see, any bit of sport you attend or catch on television, may just turn out to be greatest piece of sport you have ever seen in your life. You just don't know.

"I can't claim that my weekend was based around the Harlequins v Stade Français Heineken Cup tie, but I'm glad I stumbled across it. It was a great contest in vile weather - rugby, like Formula One, changes its nature entirely when the rain comes - and a finish that defied belief."
