My commiserations to Munster and Leinster.

To console the broken-hearted, how about a playoff for third place to prove who the best are in Ireland, and encourage an increased attendance for the final (if it could be played as a prelude the final).

Sport can be a cruel master, but let us look forward to next year with pride , and maybe we will see Geordan Murphy playing for Munster.
