The Craggy Rugby podcast attempts to turn the table on the traditional format for rugby coverage in Ireland. We start with Connacht Rugby and work from there rather than the other way around. During the Rugby season we release a preview and review episode for each and every Connacht game in the URC and European Champions Cup. We also have a mini-pod after the team selection announcement, for each match. Not to mention the Connacht specific stats that we tweet during and after each match. We'll also find time to talk about the big issues in the game. Help us grow by subscribing to the podcast, supporting us on Patreon (patreon.com/craggyrugby) and telling anyone and everyone about our podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
