Tipperary manager Eamon O'Shea said a replay was the correct outcome after a gripping All-Ireland hurling championship final in Croke Park with Kilkenny.
Tipp finished level with Brian Cody's men in a 1-28 to 3-22 classic encounter, in one of the greatest finals ever seen at the venue.
The replay will take place on Saturday 27 September and O'Shea said it was only right that both teams received a second chance to win the All-Ireland crown.
O'Shea told RTÉ Sport: "It was a great game. I expected us to come and we came. It's not gone yet. It was a fantastic game of hurling from both sides. They were on top, then we were on top.
"These are brilliant games and times. We're unhappy because we didn't win it but, by God, our boys gave it everything. Tipperary can be proud tonight and we go back and prepare for the next game.
"You'll always make mistakes. Both teams made mistakes. I just think you should look at the game as a terrific game of hurling, a magnificent day and it just fantastic we have another chance for both teams."
