Lam says Connacht fear Chiefs backlash

Pool two leaders Connacht face an onerous task away to a fancied Exeter in this afternoon’s second European Challenge Cup fixture.

Pat Lam’s players are expecting a backlash from the English Premiership side who lost away to Bayonne last weekend.

Lam has made eight changes from the side which defeated La Rochelle last weekend, as he also keeps a eye on planning for a return to Pro12 action against the Ospreys next weekend.
