The only drawback I have with it is, if you look at the football championship, they all get their go at provinclal. Then you have your groups of four. In them groups of four, three teams go through, only one get knocked out and then the knock-out gets competitive and interesting. There’s plenty of chances there, let’s say.

The problem I have with Munster at the moment is three teams is all that comes out from five whereas I think if you add a fourth team, if you had four out of five who went through, it’s still competitive but what you have there as well to promote hurling is four (All-Ireland) quarter-finals. It could be a bonanza of hurling on a weekend.

If they had it this year instead of the two quarter-finals, we could have had extra quarter-finals where Kilkenny were number one in Leinster, we were number four in Munster, (a game) that would probably fill Thurles. You could have Limerick against Galway. Two very attractive games.
