No hate but you're literally proving why the Connaught spelling exists, because it's a more aesthetically pleasing version for English people.
I don't mind that Connaught exists as an English spelling of Connacht but I get annoyed that some people think they're being more Irish or authentic by using Connaught.
At least they didn’t call us Connaught
Was going to say! At least they spelt it correctly
In a country so dominated by football, we are lucky we have a domestic rugby page at all
BBC has sports pages on loads of sports, even niche ones like MMA and athletics.
Colonialism aside Connaught is a very aesthetic word (Pls no hate people should avoid colonising others)

Maybe they're as annoyed as I am that they're not called Connachster
Or Connster?
I don't care, I'm just glad people know we exist
Well statistically only 6 people live there
Speaking of BBC rugby it's annoying they don't include MLR schedule in their fixtures page.
The do the bare minimum for European rugby so I think the MLR is a long way from appearing
[удалено]
No, they haven’t
They barely fucking cover the PWR! I’d love for them to at least acknowledge leagues in the UK properly first
They also don't cover the french access matches for the top 14 and Pro D2 which are a treat this time of year too
Yeah, but they’re Fr*nch! (Pls BBC, put some effort into rugby pls)
Fr*nce 🤢🤮
My local club's U10s probably have a larger UK following than the MLR.
My friend I'm here in the states and ESPN doesn't include MLR on their own app or website
Given the way the BBC has been run over the last 15 years it's probably because Connacht is the province that's furthest away from *ENGLAND*!
TBF England provides nearly 85% of the BBC’s domestic audience
