This year, other factors at play. Over the two games, they’ve just looked a really badly coached and demoralised side

I would have expected Donners as performing clown coach to ensure morale remained high.

You previously said you played for Carlow?

I’ve played inter-county hurling for both Carlow and London. I’ve stated that on a number of occasions.

You’ll have an even bigger Cork crowd I reckon, and today’s game got over 29k with maybe only 6k from Waterford and the City End terrace left unopened.

He’s skin in the game with London Lancashire Carlow Wexford and Waterford GAA but yet is a royalist at heart it’s hard to keep up

[Julio_Geordio]

Cork and Tipp both going well. There’ll be a crowd alright

[Thomas_Brady]

Attendances are up year on year. Everyone loves the round robin

No skin in the game with Lancashire or Wexford GAA.

Its not just Waterford. The round robin has killed the travelling support.

Cant imagine too many Tipp people being in Cork next week for 7pm. Long journey back to North/Mid Tipp late at night and not sure if there’s even a train back that late on a Saturday night.

Most will wait for the home game v Limerick.

Was there many from Galway in Nowlan Park today? Looked like a League match crowd.

Huge Limerick support in Thurles last weekend. Limerick have always travelled even when we were shit.

What was the story with Seamus Harnedy being up in the box with the pundits afterwards? Up there in his gear, hadn’t seen that kind of set-up before. You’d never think he was 33 this year to look at him.

It’s the new feature this year on TSG. Damien Comer was interviewed same after Ross game. Bad form really after putting in a shift all afternoon having Lee Keegan or Donal Póg expound for their own benefit.

The Cork crowd are showing fierce neediness after yesterday’s win. Mad for a pat in the head.

Sure thing buddy

The Munster Power Rankings after the weekend are largely unchanged

1. Limerick
2. Clare (+1)
3. Tipperary (-1)
4. Cork (+1)
5. Waterford (-1)

Here?
Nobody has downplayed it more than the Cork misery guts section, they’d make you sick

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Has the standard ever been as bad? Kilkenny and Galway looked moderate enough yesterday. There is no way they’re better than 2017-2019.

Cork are still pissing about with lehane and Downey. They were never good enough.

Waterford, wexford and Dublin are terrible.

Tipp are in a transition but don’t look to have many exciting young lads.

Limerick and Clare are the two best teams but Limerick are surely past their peak. Clare are a patched up enough side. One or two injuries and they are struggling.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Sure they’ve failed with that collection of players multiple times now.

You can dress a pig up but it’s still a pig.

Mate, the one thing I know about power rankings is you can’t be rational about it. It’s feel, bias and cute-whorism that drives where counties are in power rankings.

[Your_Mums_Athletic]

I think Clare can win the All Ireland if they show similar levels of hunger. Limerick overplayed the ball at times but Clare were excellent, the best I have seen any team against us in the last couple of years. The time has come for an open draw also, Wexford & Dublin do not deserve a free passage to a quarter final when they are so bad. Kilkenny and Galway are poor also.
