Connacht in the Media


Supporters News

Where do Connacht supporters get there rugby news? Is there somewhere on the internet, or in the media which gives particularly insightful and regular news stories about Connacht rugby? If so let us know where! So we've all read it. Bradleys comments on the Ospreys game, and how he's "targeting" the Borders game. Worth the read the first time. I think I read it first in the Irish Times... then I read the exact same story in a number disparate sources on different dates.

I'm glad that papers and websites are printing Connacht stories, but as the saying goes... a paper never refused ink. The problem of unoriginal content raises it's head on this site from time to time, but at least the messageboard provides something of interest for the readers.

Ideally, the official website is where stories should break. It should be the first point of contact for Connacht fans looking for information on rugby in the province, but it just hasn't turned out to be dependable. Stories generally tend to break in the papers or through messageboard posts.

The purpose of this article is merely to promote rugby information sources. Where do Connacht fans get their news? I for example depend on Packie and Iar Connacht for my intel, but some websites are always worth a look.

The BBC Sports website has a dedicated Connacht section, which I check most days... occassionally it gets updated with some Connacht related story. You can see it yourself at: news.bbc.co.uk

Can you suggest any other sources?
