The Interprovincial series kicked off at Croke Park with Ulster facing Munster and Leinster clashing with Connacht. New rules were tested for the first time in a televised game, but the impact remains unclear.
The Interprovincial series kicked off at Croke Park this evening as Ulster took on Munster and Leinster clashed with Connacht .
Leinster v Connacht kicked off proceedings and by the end of the first quarter, the men from the west had the game wrapped up. The new rules are expected to hamper goalkeepers, but Niall Morgan rubbished that with a majestic display in the second game of the night as Ulster set up a final clash with Connacht on Saturday.
"But look, there is a lot of work gone into this from the FRC so we have got to try and embrace it as best we can over the next few days but there is probably a few tweaks that need to be made." Joyce: "It's still a game of GAA. You can make a mistake of trying to play the rules. You can be up and down the pitch at a 100mph. You still have to play with control."
"The tap and go and the three up work. I don't think there's any real need for the scoring system and the arc."Connacht advance to tomorrow's final, which will be live on RTE. Aidan O'Shea is named man of the match.The receiver started inside the arc, but took the ball outside the arc. This is good under the new rules.
