Andrew Farley set for emotional reunion

Last August, when Andrew Farley returned to Galway as Grenoble team manager for a pre-season clash with Connacht, he was chuffed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame by the home supporters.

The Connacht clan availed of his return in his new capacity to honour a man regarded as one of the best signings the province has ever made.

Farley said he was honoured and humbled to receive the award — but little did he think that before the season was out, Connacht would be coming into his own domain seeking to grasp the European Challenge Cup semi-final spot which is up for grabs.
