My god Rory is such a negative miserable person, what an absolute incredible chance to showcase our national sport to a massive world wide audience, millions of people tuning in and not all fat Americans or avid golfers that watch for the Ryder cup. If not the league finals then why not a pick of teams one from Munster one from the other provinces it could be played as a charity match for the Dylan quirk Foundation and a few more good causes, maybe it's the fact it's not in pairc ui chaoimh that's really bothering Rory.
Lads can we please have past players who are a bit of Craic and knowledge of inside dressing rooms. Have a presenter, Shane mcgrath and like knowledgeable just retired county player, – declan hannon or someone like that. We want Craic and laughter between pundits, not just bland stuff.
What a gimmick .
Would really enjoy this podcast if Rory(?) wasn't on it.
