Last year, inconsistency was a byword for them. They finished 11th and yet defeated three of the four semi-finalists, including today’s opponents, the defending champions. It’s a bad sign that they seem to need a defeat to get their juices flowing but short-term, it bodes well for this weekend. “We can be better than that,” Friend said after last Saturday’s shocker in the Kingspan.
