Edging Edinburgh - Edinburgh 13 Connacht 14 - Craggy Rugby podcast

•
After a dramatic finish to a fairly error strewn game, Connacht toppled Edinburgh in round 2 of the Guinness Pro 12 at Murrayfield by 14-13 to make it two wins from two this season. This eppisode of Craggy Island Rugby was recorded from the Dail Bar in Galway city on Friday evening where the Connacht Clan had gathered to watch the game. Joining host Rob Murphy are local rugby journalist David Finn from Sports Radar, Declan Ryan from the Connacht Clan and Shane Sheridan from the Connacht Clan. The crew reflect on a scrappy game, marvel at the late try and stern defence, discuss Connacht's very savy media prescense this season and look ahead to next weekend's big clash with Leinster as Pat Lam's side look for three in a row. There's also the pod's first ever heckler right at th end of this week's show. * We hope to have the podcast also available on itunes sometime next week, we're working hard at the process of getting it accepted at the moment. The new intro music this week comes from the Walls and is calleding Passing Through.
