Connacht coach Andy Friend says the return of lock Gavin Thornbury and hooker Dylan Tierney-Martin from long-term injury, along with Irish internationals Mack Hansen and Finlay Bealham, is a timely boost as they try to bounce back from two heavy losses when they take on Benetton in Treviso.

Friend is looking for a response from his men after their 56-8 loss in Edinburgh was followed by a 46-8 drubbing by Leinster last weekend.
