Brian Cody is "absolutely certain" that Waterford could win the All-Ireland senior hurling championship.

Holders Kilkenny will cross swords with Derek McGrath's youthful side in a mouth-watering semi-final derby at Croke Park on Sunday and the Cats boss insists there is "no doubt" that Na Deise could go all the way:

"They have the ability to defend, the ability to attack, they work very, very hard, outstanding on breaking ball, all that kind of work," he notes in The Irish Independent.

"They do the basics very, very well and they attack from all over the field and they play with great freedom as well, you can see them shooting for points from everywhere. And that's because they have this belief in themselves and they have the players who can do that as well.

"So can they win the All-Ireland? There's no doubt about it that they could win the All-Ireland. Absolutely certain.

"Could they win the National League? It was proven that they could win the National League already, so they're one of the four teams now and have as much of a chance as the other three of winning the All-Ireland right now."
