@cullinan_sean Yep like that too.

This is the way, but I’d keep the current reward for provincial finalists.

8 teams not in finals play two rounds of knockouts (3 Munster, 4 Leinster, and highest ranked NHL team).

The 2 qualifiers play provincial finalists in quarters, and provincial winners in semis.

Waterford should be out of Munster but not the All Ireland.

The provincials should be separate to the All Ireland in hurling

@RyanMcC15 You really think last week against Cork was a comfortable loss? There was never more than 4 points in it!

[Stephen Long @Stephen_Long]

Mad thing is Waterford are so close to being All-Ireland contenders.

Beat the reigning champs last year
Drew with reigning champs this year
Toe to toe with Cork last week
The better team in Limerick for 60 mins today

Makes the constant failure in Munster even harder to take.

@colmmccarthy_ That’s fair.

Favourite moment (among many) last night was seeing deliriously happy Connacht fans filling the tank with petrol before crossing the border home.

Míle buíochas 🫶 Massive thank you for all the support last night 🟢🦅

Fairly spicy relegation permutations in 1A.

If Tipp beat Waterford next week, Waterford are down.

If it’s a draw, Kilkenny need to beat Tipp in 2 weeks to avoid relegation. If they win, Waterford are down.

If Waterford win, they’re safe and loser of Tipp/Kilkenny is relegated.

Moved to Galway 8 years ago this week and I’m finally seeing the Deise in Salthill.

More importantly it’s our special girl’s first of many.
