Hurling legend John Mullane has conceded that Limerick have likely surpassed Kilkenny as the greatest team in the sport's history. Mullane, a former Waterford star, previously believed Kilkenny’s dominance would remain unchallenged. However, Limerick’s consistent success and skillful play have prompted a reassessment of the hurling landscape. He expressed surprise at this shift, acknowledging Limerick’s exceptional quality. Mullane also questioned Galway’s strategic decisions, specifically their deviation from a previously effective playing style. This change in tactics, he believes, was a significant misstep for the Galway team. Mullane's comments signal a recognition of a new dynasty in hurling, led by Limerick.
