Well the good news is from next season it will be a competition proper with a cup presented to the winners. It will consist of the summer internationals where the 6 nations teams head down below. Then it'll be finished with the Autumn internationals where the teams from down under come here. It'll be a type of annual world cup and will be good that teams will play home and away.

If you think the games have been big and getting a lot of attention till now well it's going to bigger and better from next year and I, for one, am really looking forward to it!

Look it up, "The Nations Championship"

The only extension we need is an extension to this redicioulously short gaa season. The gaa are cutting off their own own oxygen supply and we are innocent victims of a blinded alley. Please nobody try to make sense of the whole lot because that's impossible when greed is to the forefront. Money from concerts etc directed to grassroots does not have the same power as money from 164,000 fans in croker in September with the possibility of a replay in October..Exposure of our players is what will sustain our game not easy monet from concerts etc. A very prominent intercounty manager recently publicly said that the club season was too long and who could argue with him pointing out the obvious.
