Jez this is awful rubbish. Of course there will be no mention of how poor fare it is by the commentators!

That was as poor as the game before it, Dublin won't win too many games with that tactic. Overplayed the ball so many times it was bad. Kilkenny will need to improve also, 6 week wait till next game, pretty long
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

People fall into this romantic notion that Munster championship hurling is phenomenal in terms of quality.the reality is different. If it was that good Kilkenny wouldn't be a mile ahead in the role of honour.

Tipp and limerick was poor, cork and clare not much better. Waterford and cork- average fare both days

The qualifier games are ten times better in quality when teams from different provinces play each other. People are sick of the same ould shite match ups every year.

I think even the teams prefer playing other provincial teams at this stage.

10/10 for effort, Indiana, but there's no masking that today. That was bad.

terrible I'd describe it as but I wouldn't kid myself that the munster championship has been a spellbinding edge of the seat story of hurling artistry this year. No better then leinster

Dublin made Jackie mom material today. The positive for Dublin is that they created some good goal chances although didn't take full advantage.

Munster hurling is never pretty as far as I can see, but it used to be fiercely contested and very even. That's why it has been such a good championship. All 5 entrants feel they can win it. Standard wise, it's the same as Leinsters good teams or even slightly worse.

Oh for crying out loud. There have been plenty of great games in both provinces and the qualifiers this year, and the prospect of plenty more. Let's not assume the grass is greener on the far side of a new system. Great times to be a hurling fan.

The Leinster Championship should be renamed the 'Rolling over for Kilkenny Championship'.
At least the teams in Munster aren't spineless.

Including the Dubs who beat Kilkenny last year? Or Galway who drew with them? Munster teams don't have a great record against Kilkenny either.
