Connacht hope to reap rewards of flying visit

Coach Andy Friend and his management team set a target of eight points from their opening two games

Connacht hope jet-lag is not a factor as they bid to maintain their winning start to the season when they take on Cardiff Blues at Rodney Parade on Saturday evening (7.35pm, TG4).

Connacht are doing a day charter to Wales for the match, leaving the Sportsground at midday for the evening game which will take place in Newport as the Arms Park is being used as part of a Covid-19 field hospital.
