It’s going to be family day at the Sportsground on Saturday as the Connacht players bring their parents and partners to be wined and dined prior to their clash with Benetton in the URC.

And it should be a special day for Andy Friend as his first grandchild will be in attendance, although given that she is flying in from Australia that morning and she’s only five months old, she might not be getting too wrapped up in proceedings.
