Scarlets home review Oct 2022

Connacht failed to secure a home Round of 16 match in the Challenge Cup after yet ANOTHER defeat on English soil as they failed to cope with the power and precision of the early onslaught by Newcastle.The Craggy Crew try and make sense of the wildly fluctuating performance and question some of the selection decisions that came back to haunt Andy Friend and his coaching brain trust as an away trip to Italy is their reward for winning 3 of the 4 matches in the pool stages of the Challenge Cup.

Newcastle away review Jan 2023

Brive review Jan 2023

Connacht snaffled a bonus point win in atrocious conditions as they remain unbeaten against South African opposition in the Sportsground and the Craggy Crew are no longer grumpy in the post match analysis. We hear the post match thoughts of Andy Friend and Mack Hansen as well as a very thoughtful Sharks coach Joey Mongalo.

Sharks review Jan 2023

That was not the start to the New Year that Connacht would have wanted as a rampant Leinster put them to the sword.William Davies and Rob Murphy discuss a pretty damning defeat and we hear the post match thoughts from Andy Friend and the Murray brothers, who became only the 2nd ever pair of brothers to start in the second row together for Connacht.

Leinster away review Jan 2023

Connacht almost snatched a draw from the wide open jaws of defeat, but the better team on the night won the match in a dramatic finish and a pretty gutted Craggy Crew don't hold back on their feelings about yet another defeat in an Interpro. We also hear the post match thoughts of Andy Friend, Conor Oliver and Dan McFarland.

Ulster review  Dec 2022

Connacht got the 5 try bonus that they needed in a somewhat bizarre match in the south of France as they defeated Brive 24-31 in a match that saw Abraham Papali'i once again red carded as well as Brive losing a couple of other players to the sin bin. It wasn't all good news for Connacht as both Paul Boyle and Gavin Thornbury appear to have sustained long term injuries. William Davies, Niall Sheil and Alan Deegan take you through the match while we hear from the travelling support as well as Andy Friend and David Hawkshaw

Newcastle home review Dec 2022

A much needed bonus point win was garnered against a resolute Benetton side and the Craggy Crew take you through the match and give us their post-match thoughts along with Andy Friend and Paul Boyle.

Benetton review Dec 2022

What a frustrating display and result for Connacht as another trip to Thomond Park ends disappointingly.The Craggy Crew travelled with the Connacht Clan for this trip and we get a flavour of what it is like from the fans perspective on an away trip.Rob Murphy and William Davies give us their immediate after match thoughts from the Galway Bay FM commentary and we hear from a very angry sounding Andy Friend and annoyed Tom Farrell in the post match press conference.

The No. 1 podcast covering Connacht Rugby

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.
