Rob Murphy, the commentator for Galway Bay FM and rugby correspondent for the City Tribune decided that coverage of Connacht rugby was somewhat lacking so decided to start up a post match podcast with the help of long time Connacht fan William Davies and well known rugby nut Alan Deegan.
The podcast only covered post match reviews starting in 2014 and got it’s name thanks to a funny Dragons fan forum post that gave a fake commentary of what was probably going to happen in the match that was run on Craggy Island radio, if I ever find that post again I will add the link here – we took it as a compliment and the whole “sand mower” bit of the first episode seemed to solidify the name, Craggy Island Rugby podcast – as we got a bit more serious about our podcasting with dropped the Island to give us the name we use this day Craggy Rugby ( we still enjoy a fair bit of craic all the same).
