Just over a week to go till the best provincial championship in GAA is back! So who's gonna come out on top? Tipp are always strong, the last two champions Cork and Limerick will be there and there abouts, Clare have had there problems but no one would right them off and of course a confident Waterford after their excellent league have a lot to prove in championship! Can't wait!

Anyone dare give a prediction? :D

Hopefully cork but have a feeling we may have regressed a little.imo it will be between very good tipp team verus a real sore hungry limerick team still hurting from last year and for what its worth i think this will be the AI FINAL as well

interesting! well if limerick can get over clare, which is a sizable if, they've 2 home games like 2 years ago. they've had the beating over tipp the last 2 years so 3 in a row will be a big ask but home advantage will be a factor. i think cork will beat waterford, especially with Waterford losing pauric mahoney. so it could well be best 2 out of 3 between cork and limerick in the final!

Got to be honest blackspot just dont see cork beating waterford after last day and if we do traveling to thurles or limerick will be a very big ask as i said i belive these two are the best at the moment cant see clare beating limerick and not convinced about kk stupid as that may seem

I'd agree that Limerick will be hard beat. If they beat Clare then they'll beat Tipperary in the Gaelic grounds. They kinda have tipps number..It's the old fact of stand off Tipp and you ll get hammered...cut into them and it's 50/50. But Tipperary are good and if they get confidence they ll be a force.
Cork and Waterford is a tricky one. I know Cork are good, but theyve let themselves down on a regular basis..Waterford are very good and could still win this one.
Clare are Clare. My home county and an absolute disaster in Munster since forever. Clare can win the All Ireland by the back door but tge Munster Championship is beyond them. It's crazy I know but for Clare and the draw they have they've a better chance of winning in CrOker than in the biggest,most fertile and finest province on the Island of Hibernation.
If limerick beat Clare they ll win Munster

No minefield at all. It's fairly predictable. Clare will beat Limerick, Cork Waterford is a toss up ok due to O'Mahonys injury...think the loss of that player will tip the balance in Cork's favour. Not sure how the draw goes but if it's Cork/ Waterford vs Tipp, Tipp will win that with a bit to spare and unless Clare are rejuvenated, they will go on to win the final. But a rejuvenated Clare team would pose a real threat to Tipp. We will know more about them after the Limerick game.

Yes of course it is a minefield this year.Like it is most years.All 5 counties will fancy their chances.As a neutral I could make a case for all.Clare v Limerick will be some battle.Really is a toss of a coin,but i tipped Clare for All Ire glory at start of year so Ill stick with them to beat Limerick.Things seemed to have settled down in Clare.No news coming out of the camp.Good or bad.These men have won 3 All Ire U21s in a row.Already have a senior All Ire won.I think they are the real deal.Last years early exit will have them fresh and raring to go.The winners of this game face Tipp.Clare v Tipp again toss of a coin but ill stick with the banner men although wudnt be surprised with a Tipp win.
On the other side i fancy Cork to gain quick revenge on the Deise.O Mahony is a huge loss and the rebels have huge motivation to turn the tables.Cork v Clare/Tipp final with the banner or Tipp to win.4 quality games to look forward to.
