Friend: We reached new level against Gloucester

Connacht coach Andy Friend said the precision which saw them conjure up a last-gasp winner against Gloucester last week is the standard they aspire to.

He knows that hitting those standards again a few times today against Munster will go a long way towards nailing top spot in the table for Christmas, with just a point separating the sides ahead of today’s clash at the Sportsground (5.15pm).
