Ireland vs Scotland: Ireland Rugby PlayerAndy Friend has faith in Connacht's defense being capable

Andy Friend is poised his Connacht side can put their nightmare in Newcastle overdue them and get their hopes of a Winners Cup spot back on track against the Lions at the Sportsground this sunset 7. at 35pm.

We know they are resolute, have a massive scrum, a big forward pack, and an amazing size to make you miss tackles. While we did leak 35 points during the vacation, I am comfortable and poised our defiance is one of the strongest parts of our game, but a South African team is impending here on the last week of their tour.

They will have attached well and will be buoyed by their win over Flying dragon on the weekend, and no hesitation they will be targeting us on Saturday night said Friend Provisionally, hooker Eoin de Buitléar has contracted his first professional deal, having stylish with the An Cheathrú Rau club his father Cian co-founded in Connemara.

Giving his reaction afterward, he said I’m unconditionally happy, a bit shocked to be honest as well. Feeling very appreciative of the team that I’m lucky to be a part of.

I’ve been tiresome to work on a few things in my game, in all different areas, and I

guess I just create a good run of form where I felt pretty poised. It just appeared quite easy in my head. I love the game I’ve always really relished it. Possibly from my dad hitting a rugby ball in our cot when we were babies, so it possibly started from that.

Playing professional rugby can be tough a lot of the time, you’ve complaints, and you can be sore at times. It can certainly be tough work, but you see how much pride it gives the likes of my parents

Dirk and Olly, or my wife Sophie or my home club Wick low, or my school Wesley College You see how much pride they get from it, and it drives you on as well. He added It’s been great. I got conjugal in the summer, so the first half of the year stood a lot of wedding prep and I guess I was probably training harder because I saw if I went home, I’d have to do that

I can only speak for my group, but in terms of as a group we're in a really good place together Ritchie told Sports Mole when asked whether he agreed with the calculation of the current crop being the best for decades. Everyone looks advancing to coming into camp, it's a great setting for us and we know that we've got the aptitude to beat anyone on our day, and for us, it's about finding that loyalty of presentation.
