GPA seek prelim quarter-finals
The plan stipulated that top two in each Leinster and Munster five-team round-robin groups play in their respective provincial finals, with the winners advancing to the semi-finals, and the runners-up going into the quarter-finals to be joined by one of the third-placed teams, Leinster’s next year.
Munster’s third-placed team would face the qualifying group winners in a preliminary quarter-final for the remaining place, with Leinster’s third best having to win through in 2019 and so on.
