But your writing software has now, before you had this number of matches, you probably have more now, but you've been condensed into a season.

That's why I'm so much against the split season for different reasons.

But here we are now.

There'll be two teams out of the Munster Championship in a couple of weeks' time, and the main focus on Sporting Media

will be the European, whatever it is, the Pope's National Cup or something, the National are in, and the European Rugby final.

And there'll be two teams sitting at home in the Munster Championship without even having been in the limelight.

You know, I was taught, you know yourself before, the G had the limelight in the months of July, August and September.

Look, we threw that away for the sake of the split season.

There's no point in reopening that argument now, yeah.

Come here, there's a fierce influenza threat.

Last year, last year, 50 million euro was spent preparing inter-county teams.

Isn't that a scandal?

These are volunteers.

I'm not saying they don't.

I'm not saying they don't.

And of course, they do.

And the standard is very high.

And they put in huge sacrifices.

But where is that going to end?

It was 20 million, then it was 30, now it's just 40.
