Never A Dull Moment - Gloucester 14 Connacht 7 - Craggy Rugby podcast

•
The season seems to generate more dramatic with each passing day for Connacht Rugby. On Friday night in Gloucester we had it all. A truly awful first half, a superb fightback after half time and post game drama that made headlines around the world. The full crew return for our 25th podcast of the season. Part 1 looks at the fallout from the Mils Muliaina arrest after the game at Kingsholm. We speak only of the facts taking you through the confusion that ensued in the hour after the game on Friday and outlining the very latest information we have on the issue. In part 2, things get tetchy as the crew debate the pros and cons of some of Connacht's most high profile signings in recent years and reviews some of the media coverage around them. Will Connacht benefit from a more critical eye in the national media? In the final part of the podcast we dedicate our time to reviewing Friday's performance in Gloucester and previewing the hugely important game against Ulster next Saturday at 2:40pm in the Sportsgrounds. Host Rob Murphy and guests William Davies, Alan Deegan and Dave Finn tip toe through the tricky part and let loose for the rest of the podcast.
