Andy Friend has a good track record in bringing players from his native Australia to the Sportsground and centre Byron Ralston is hoping he can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Mack Hansen, Jarrad Butler and John Porch and be a key performer for Connacht.
The 22-year-old has certainly made an immediate impact, starting five of Connacht’s games and coming off the bench in their other game, and he’s settled in well despite the massive change in playing conditions from Australia.
