We have a new number one.
Waterford avoid defeat for the third time in 16 games and notch their second win in round robin play, and all 5 points Waterford have garnered from a possible 32 have come at Tipperary’s expense.
Points garnered by Munster counties against Waterford in round robin play:
Clare 8/8
Cork 8/8
Limerick 8/8
Tipperary 3/8
Tipperary are officially Waterford’s round robin bitch.

Encountered a passport from the Central African Republic earlier and it got me thinking about how many passports of the world I’ve never encountered (only including passports from nations Ireland recognises). After painstakingly going through the list, I think I’m only missing Nauru, Kiribati, South Sudan and North Korea (I may be waiting a while for that last one)
