Former Wallaby Scott Fardy knows at first hand the difficulty of the task facing his new Connacht charges as they prepare to take on the Bulls at the famous Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday.

The 52,000 capacity stadium, which has staged FIFA World Cup and Rugby World Cup fixtures is a cauldron at altitude, with the Bulls’ fans expecting a big show from their side after two wins and two losses on their tour to Europe.
