Connacht bid to halt dreadful record in England

Andy Friend’s Connacht can knock down another barrier in Gloucester tomorrow and in the process take a big step towards a new milestone as they continue to grow impressively under the Australian.

Friend has been a breath of fresh at the Sportsground over the past 15 months or so and the infectious positively exuded by the Aussie is rubbing off in all corners as they overcome barriers which even defied the Pat Lam era.
