The last round of League games on Sunday sent out the message loud and clear - the format badly needs to be changed.
Of the six Division One ties, only one had anything riding on it realistically and that was the Kilkenny-Waterford game but, even at that, Waterford were essentially through to the semi-finals already and were without five or six of what will be their Championship team.
I don’t think it’s acceptable to the hurling public that we reach the end of the round robin phase with a series of meaningless matches, particularly while the football has all sorts of permutations this coming weekend.
