Andy Friend has hit back at disparaging remarks made by Bulls coach Jake White prior to their clash on Saturday evening when he described Connacht as a team made up of players who couldn’t get contracts in Leinster and wanted to impress to get deals with ‘big’ clubs.

The 2007 Springbok World Cup-winning coach was made to eat his words as Connacht ousted his team by 34-7, with White afterwards blaming the conditions and a hill on the pitch at the Sportsground.
