Excellent post

true - Billy Ryan prime example. On fire one day, anonymous the next. KK's stongest line is FB line but Limerick have no bother sacrificing that... so Lawlor could well do a number on Gillane but doesn't matter if Lynch is running rings around Richie Reid and setting up points for English, Hegarty etc.

I feel like Kilkenny forwards have always been a bit like that even at their best. 3 would be unstoppable one day then the next day it's a different 2 or 3. I suppose that's true for most teams, will rarely have all 6 firing but always thought it was more prevalent with Kilkenny for whatever reason. Maybe i was looking for chinks in the armour

The fact that the limerick dublin trains are all sold out for july 6 sums up if anything the format of the AI needs revisiting. Two games just formalities

Another mad Munster championship finished. Some great games some not so great.

Thoughts on team of the Munster championship ‘25? Tis hard. Back-line in particular.

1. Quaid (Nolan was decent also)
2. Finn
3. Prunty
4. Robert Doyle / SOD ?
5. Mark Fitzgerald
6. ?
7. Mark Coleman
8. Adam English
9. ?
10. ?
11. Morris / Lynch?
12. Harnedy
13. Gillane
14. B Hayes
15. ?

Like him or loathe him Kyle Hayes would be 6

I'd play Fitz at 9

Morris at 10
Lynch at 11

John McGrath at 15

I'd have Morrissey at 3

Ya K Hayes at 6 prob fair alright. Maher and Joyce decent too.

Did John McGrath do much bar the Clare game? I suppose decent v Limerick also…

Fitz for the Munster final alone maybe.

Jamie Barron had a good campaign also.

If you discount the Cork game, which was over before it began, John McGrath scored 4-6 from play in 3 games which is fair going so he seems to have gotten a new lease of life after a number of poor years, including being dropped for a good while.

Jamie Barron is pure class.
