So what is the answer?

And I think I've been listening to people from the outside and I think the answer maybe, the big one out there,

at the moment is that we go back to just play your monster champs a bit like the football and I'm not a firm believer that we go and just copy the football but we have to look at the football and say well Jesus this is working for the football so we've got to flip it and say well we don't want all our we don't want the bulk of all our games in May or in April and May and then come June and July we're only left with a sprinkle of games whilst you're looking you're looking over the across

across and you're seeing that it's football football football football football so we've got to twist that now in regards slowly building so april and may we'd only have a few games and then come june july we have the majority of our games and the only way we can make that happen is that we go back to a straight knockout we have our monthly championship all right straight knockout whether it be home and away like this home and away uh

still going to the provincial venues so the top two teams win the Munster and then the Leinster maybe then bring it then to so you win the Munster Championship you win the Leinster Championship then have we've 11 teams at the moment the magic number get it up to 12 so Kildare would stay up and Leash would join so that brings it up to the magic number of 12 so

Two groups of sixes, as someone mentioned there.

Yeah, they're going to be seeded.

They're going to be seeded.

Maybe use the league and the provisional championships as your seeding.

And so what's the incentive then to maybe get to a Munster final or win a Munster final?

Maybe the two teams that get to the months of final and the two teams that get to the lengths of final, you'll have five matches in your all-Ireland series round-robin.

You get three home matches if you get to your provisional final.

The top team out of each group of six go straight to a semi-final and second place third in...

vice versa for the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

Whoever finishes second then get a home quarter-final.

I think that way then you will land on your top six teams and you will probably then land on your four best teams for an All-Ireland semi-final.

And if that means that you have four Munster teams in an All-Ireland semi-final, so be it.

I'm sure now the World Cup when it gets to the semi-final stages, there's...

It's highly likely that you might have four European teams in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

And it shouldn't be no different come the All-Ireland Series.
