Very easy to not comment on something if you're not interested in it you know?

Ulster dont have a hope. Barely have any top hurlers in Antrim never mind outside it

Yes you're absolutely right it is!

And after spending a week on the soccer World XI (2 players can't be from the same club etc.) I thought it might be interesting to get peoples thoughts on what they think the teams might be for their own provinces?

Was a great competition at its peak, remember even in the 70s as a young boy watching it on St Patricks day on telly was a big deal.

I got tired of writing subs after ulster and obviously there'll be plenty of players I forgot and left out of every province.
Jesus it would be brilliant to have a proper full competitive railway cup looking at the talent on show there.

I think out of the teams above, ulster probably have the strongest panel
