'We dominated the physicality' says Andy Friend as Connacht kickstart season

The western province came from behind to beat Munster in Galway. 

TRIBE: Connacht's John Porch and head coach Andy Friend after the win. 

Andy Friend credited Connacht’s superior physicality over Munster for getting them across the line for a first victory of the season following a tense derby at The Sportsground on Friday night.

Connacht came from 11-5 down after 47 minutes to run out 20-11 winners as they returned to Galway after three straight away losses at the start of their BKT United Rugby Championship campaign to open their new 4G artificial pitch with a much-needed interprovincial derby success.
