Connacht coach Andy Friend has claimed that the province rarely gets the rub of the green when it comes to 50/50 calls after they came out the wrong side of a two-point URC game against Munster at Thomond Park.

The head coach was unhappy with two decisions in particular: the sin-binning of Sam Arnold for a high tackle on Mike Haley, after which his 14-men conceded the game’s first try, and the failure to spot Tadhg Beirne in an offside position when Munster claimed their second.
