Quotes corner

Connacht boss Andy Friend reflecting on the win over Leinster and looking forward to Munster: "What I'm pleased for the players is that we sometimes get challenged about do we deserve to be out there on the same field as some of these big European sides, and the answer there is emphatically, 'yes, yes we do'.

"We do deserve to be out there, we have some really good young talent coming through, some really good senior talent that helped guide us.

"We've a lot of blokes sitting at home and they'll be proud of their peers and the way they performed and itching to get out there next Saturday.

"That's what's pleasing for me."
