Irish Examiner view: A virtual All-Ireland

Limerick's Tom Morrissey is tackled by Tadhg De Búrca of Waterford during the Munster final. They clash again in the first December All-Ireland final  tomorrow at Croke Park.

Even though its more than 40 years since Munster beat the All Blacks the size of the crowd at the event is still growing, though maybe not as quickly as it did in the years immediately after that victory.

That I-was-there chest beating, accurate or otherwise, has moved on. The focus has now moved to Croke Park of 2007 when lreland beat England in what was one of those moments that reached far beyond sports’ boundaries.
