We often hear of how the GAA has failed hurling, with the game played to a high standard in only a handful of counties.
And from those, how many could actually win the All-Ireland? I would say seven - Kilkenny, Limerick, Cork, Galway, Clare, Cork and Tipperary.
I’d find it very hard to see Wexford, Dublin or even Waterford going all the way in the near future, given where they are coming from right now.
