Inter-Provincial Series showcasing new rules..

[Captain Obvious]

That was like watching Dublin at their peak in those turkey shootouts in Leinster championship games against Div 3/4 opposition.  Give me a low scoring competitive match any day of the week before that.

Connaire Mackin was absolutely correct and the ever more demanding fitness that will be required for this. Somewhat incompatible with an association trying to fight burnout.

Only saw the last 15 mins but looked like a pile of pish. Will give it the full weekend before settling on a final opinion

[Saffron_sam20]

Think the wife has put on Mama Mia on the other room..

Be a hard choice I know but I'm thinking I'll give the Ulster game a miss

Serious question, do you think it would put a lot of referees off doing it? We just see how hard it is at IC level with a full team of officials dunno how it could be at club

Did you watch Cargin - St Brigids...? 'championship' 🫣

[Armagh18]

Can anybody paying in get their money back. The 2 point scoring line not far enough out.

It'll be far enough at club level playing into a gale lol

Well now look at the population of Leinster surely they can pull together 15 decent players

If all of those rules were brought in it would be a farce on a wet Tuesday night in Rasharkin !

Some will definitely embrace it, but other refs will step away, when the extra cries come from the sidelines and behind the fence from people who still struggle with the standard rules it would most certainly make lads step away

[bennydorano]

High scoring doesn't always equate to high entertainment as that pile of dung illustrated. I'd imagine only one of the 2pt outside score / 4pt goal will make the final cut.

[befair]

Too early to tell, but game does seem more open; massed defence no longer an option, less of the endless recycling round the 45

[AustinPowers]

I'm certain Leinster have not kept 3 forwards inside the 45 on several occasions which is meant to be a free at the opposite goal

Ref hasn't called it? Seems difficult to enforce that rule from the ref

It's  impossible , unless you have another official permanently  stood on the 50 yard line. Even then, it would be hard to  see

You could  also see  a scenario where  3 players are having to stay within the 50 , and the opposition playing 'keep ball' 55 yards out, just out of arms reach .

At last a positive comment! ✨️🙌

[Milltown Row2]

If a defender 'nudges' a player over the 45 and he collects the ball is that a free?

We live in the era of quick judgements.

[Cunny Funt]

Maybe I'm reading too much out of one match that was total mis-match but I think those new rules if introduced into the 2025 season will produce bigger thumpings to weaker teams.  I'm  all for adjustments to make games more enjoyable to watch but you need matches to be competitive decided on fine margins more often than not for that to be the case.
