Galway and Kilkenny must do it all again

IT'S a third championship meeting between Galway and Kilkenny this summer and thanks to Michael Bublé, a third different venue in a third different province. They'll go again at Semple Stadium, Thurles on Sunday afternoon with the chips stacked ever higher (throw-in: 3pm).

An All-Ireland semi-final with Wexford, assuming they take care of Joe McDonagh finalists Kildare, or Munster runners-up Clare awaits the eventual winner in three weeks’ time. 
It's the swiftest of turnarounds for the loser, almost certainly against a refreshed Limerick arriving with all guns blazing seven days later at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 
And if the new Leinster and Munster round-robins have taught us anything, it's that the demands of reaching peak performance three weeks on the trot is a massive and perhaps unattainable ask.
So who was the happier with Sunday's 0-18 apiece draw at Croke Park? And who possesses most room for improvement? Kilkenny and Galway, in that order, appears to be the general consensus.
