Bradley braced for Beziers backlash

CONNACHT coach Michael Bradley delighted with an 18-10 away victory to Beziers in the Parker Pen Cup, has warned that home advantage will not guarantee advancement to the next round.

Connacht can expect to attract the biggest crowd of the season to the Sportsground on Saturday (2p.m.) for the second leg, but Bradley expects a backlash from the French.

"An eight points lead is nice going into the second game but we had to fight very hard to get that win. Beziers had chances to put us away and, while I was proud of our defence, we must be aware that they are a very dangerous attacking force."
