Francis!
Munster v Leinster* could actually be epic if they could contrive to make something at stake.
Shtar ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
Very decent fella in fact. No fool at all.
How does he reckon a pitch will go for its fourth game in a row in October?
You know what he does right?
Dresses like a cross between ted from the fast show and Prince Charles?
Restoring them to Paddy’s Day once we get out of this sorry mess wouldn’t be the worst option now that the Club Finals have moved.
Bring them back
Bring them back
Bring them back
Clubs playing the trials get a set of jerseys for the winners. So wonderfully old-fashioned. Perhaps Jim Gavin could throw in a barrel of beer and a suit-length for each player.
Jack O Connor gave a serious two fingers to Eamon Fitzmaurice with his non involvement in the InterPros tonight. Tossing Cian O Neill in instead of him doesn’t look good. Be interesting to see how that develops. I thought Fitz would have replaced Jack after last year, he most certainly will imo by the start of the next one.

Aidan O Shea scores the first 4 pointer, into the Hill against Cluxton.
Beautiful
Big Aido running riot.
This is brilliant, it’s going to save the sport. Skilful exponents of kicking and fielding like Aidan will now be emphasised and the evil nordies will be stopped.
That looks like the Canal End to me. I know its a while since you were there.
Sorry, it was the lack of junkies throwing stuff at Aidan that threw me
Sport at it’s absolute best, those Dublin hammer throwers can’t do the 2pointers. It could be fifty years before they win another Leinster
A Wickla man kicks a 2 pointer to get the Leinster Lions off the mark.
