The western province face another interpro next time out. 

FRIEND INDEED: Connacht head coach Andy Friend before the United Rugby Championship match between Connacht and Munster.

Andy Friend is not getting carried away by Connacht’s first win of the season but the defeat of Munster has put a different complexion on this Friday’s visit to Galway from league leaders Leinster.
