Farley joy as Connacht to face off with Super 14 giants Queensland

AUSTRALIAN Super 14 outfit Queensland Reds were yesterday confirmed as one of the sides facing Connacht in pre-season friendlies at the Sportsgrounds, Galway next month.

In a major coup for the Westerners, the Reds who finished third from bottom in this season’s competition will complete a four-game series for Michael Bradley’s side who will also face Leeds, Harlequins and London Welsh.

It will be an emotional evening for Connacht lock Andrew Farley as he faces his former side.
