Connacht Rugby Bandwagon Thread

Anybody heading to Krasnoyarsk next Saturday?

Potentially the most memorable Irish sporting trip ever.

Krasnoyarsk has been a happy hunting ground for Irish rugby before.

BOOM!

Great to see a Laoisman dominate for Connacht :clap:

Those of us who marched to Dublin years ago to ensure our province survived have been #vindicated

Where did you march from?

Why seething? A dodgy penalty try is the only thing that kept Munster in it. Connacht should have won that game by at least another 10

2 lads I work with from Galway had a right cut off each other over this bandwagon.

The association football spurs fan was making sense saying you wouldn’t see a rugby ball tens years ago in Galway city but the other lad was fairly hostile in disagreement with the observation.

Then the Bandwagon statement was used, by the Spurs fan and the argument was over. No coming back from that.

I don’t know about 10 years ago as I had moved away, but 20+ years ago we were marching through the city after winning the Connacht Schools Senior Cup. There was a decent interest in Rugby then pal. The recent rugby bandwagon applies to all provinces really.

I’ll bow to your local knowledge pal, but I would have Galway down as a Hurling and Gaelic Football county first and foremost.

Getting 9 or 10 thousand at a Connaught rugby game would have been unheard of 10 years ago surely would it not?

If you haven’t read Eddie O’Sullivan’s book, do. It’s an enjoyable read and also gives some good insight into rugby in Galway back in the 80s onwards.
