"It's probably not surprising, but B. There's just so much of A that doesn't make sense to me, I would love more - because the people who put together these proposals have thought long and hard, they poke to many people, you can imagine the many meetings, so I'm sure there's a strong reason behind proposal A."Equally, moving the two weakest in Leinster into Munster, I don't see how that improves the quality of game that you're going to be getting in them local provinces. "I don't know what way they're working out the promotion (with Plan B) I seen one suggestion, I think was written down in paper, the explanation I was given by a representative from Croke Park suggested that by winning the Tailteann cup, would also gain you promotion in the league."For me, I really struggle to see the benefits of it. If we're looking at the weaknesses of the provincial system, and the natural imbalances that are there when just using the geographical provinces, to move the weakest team in Ulster into Connacht, weakens the Ulster championship and it hardly strengthens the Connacht championship.
"This will be either from four to three, or three to two, depending on what group. It would be interesting to see how that affects the two league-based promotion slots, does that mean three teams get promoted or is it still only two?"I think that kind of inclusion, of that kind of promotion gambit, with the Tailteann cup, is a great way of increasing the value of the Tailteann cup."
