Colm Collins told us last week that Sunday’s Munster quarter-final was the biggest championship game of his 10-year tenure. It was therefore no surprise to hear him tell us after yesterday’s win that it was the biggest championship victory of his reign.

“Definitely,” replied Collins when asked if this was the outstanding championship win of the 16 he has presided over. “It probably was (the biggest) in the context of everything. I mean players want to play in the All-Ireland. This is moving them a step closer to that. It's massive.”
