And the really weird part was they played each other in the World Cup final in 2010 in South Africa.

So the Dutch were singing about the King of Spain while the Spanish were just kind of standing there.

I'd say we give him a good go.

Crushed him.

Yeah.

Eric, your point comes right at the end of the pod, but it is a fair point for discussion.

Does it change the stance in the quarterfinal set-up?

The whole championship is won.

Tip Waterford never get the beatings that happened today.

Tip got the beating, I'm fair.

It's all right.

The other side to this is, like, do you want to close the door entirely to Leinster here?

Like, as I have said earlier on, it is up to the Leinster counties to improve, right?

But do you want to get to a scenario whereby it's Munster plus Galway or Kilkenny, and then we forget about everyone else?

There's a balancing act here between we want games to be competitive and we want them to be interesting, but are we also trying to close the door on teams who are coming through?

Like, as I said earlier on, Offaly took a beating today, but Offaly finished third in Leinster on Merritt and Offaly earned their place in the quarterfinal.

Granted, they got mowed down by one of the top teams in the country, but the reality is if you close that door,

And say if we did get to a scenario whereby the championship was, say, the Munster teams plus maybe two from Leinster, do we then just give up on the teams that are outside of that kind of top seven or eight and forget about them?

It's already in it.

I don't mean to be like, what do you call it, sensationalist about it.
