Inter-Provincial Series showcasing new rules..

[seafoid]

A very good team wil give some average teams an awful trimming next year.

The Tailteann was set up to address this problem.

[armaghniac]

Looks like a very poor crowd for this first game today. It's on RTE news channel.

GAA could have surely done more to get people in the doors. Free attendance surely could have been done and a bit of advertising.

Exactly. They'll make nothing from it anyway. Have it free and send tickets to schools, refugee centres, hotels etc. Complete lack of imagination.

It didn't really work if that's the case. And will likely get worse

Yeah the lack of marketing or promotion is just sad at this stage.

Rugby literally sold out Croker the other week for a URC league match and we can't even get 10k in the doors at this. Doesn't even seem to be 5k even.

Result Leinster 1-19 (23) Munster 1-15 (19)

The GAA don't promote their Championship, they ain't gonna promote 4 friendly games. It should be free in fornnothing more than demo games.

I think it improves the game.

What specifically is the improvement

Reduces lateral passing. 2 points for a score outside the arc 50 yards for dissent.
Monaghan v Tyrone will be unrecognisable in 2025

It won't reduce lateral passing at all. It is in these games cause it's exhibition.

The dissent thing is also grim. Far too much, Munster player ran into Leinster player pretending to hit. Free to get the ball moved forward so keeper could get a free and try get 2pts.

inside forwards are liberated. The game will be less static. The League will be interesting.

Half time in the final. Connacht 2-6 (14) Ulster 0-11

[gallsman]

Fitzmaurice waffling away here. Talking about exciting 1v1 opportunities inside. It might be 1v1, but it's not 50/50.

Why do these people hate defenders and tackling so much?!

[gallsman]

Connacht player puts a poor ball inside, defender gets a hand on it easy enough but can't hold it and it goes out for a 45. Reward for a shite pass is 2 points. Nonsense. Surely if the scoring system gets past, it'll be from play only. You'll have lads on the endline actively trying to engineer a 45.

Him and others involved in bringing these new rules are trying to hard to convince us all that these new rules are great.

Yeah hopefully stuff like that will be ironed out if these rules are to be kept.

[gallsman]

He's been talking about players going for 2 pointers and it dropping short causing chaos inside, and it being a good thing. Then someone went for a shot a solid 5 or 6 points inside the arc and he was saying the same thing. It's just shite execution, Eammon.

Agree, Rian intercepted a pass and it went out for a 45, and Connacht get 2 points when they had only modest prospects of one point.
These games do not have 3 minutes or more of the ball going across the field. But these are good players, it is good to see all of Ulster playing, these players will be cutting strips off each other in 3 months in the league.

[tyrone08]

Why is it brought back for a free after a catch within the 21 meter line when the player played on and took a shot at goal. Surely getting a shot at goal is an advantage in itself
