Friend: Connacht can’t afford an ‘arm wrestle’

Connacht coach Andy Friend has warned his side can’t afford to get into an “arm wrestle” against Montpellier in their return to the Heineken Champions Cup this weekend.

Friend has a string of key performers unavailable, especially up front, but the Australian said it’s now up to others to step forward against Montpellier at the Sportsground on Sunday.
