Lar Corbett believes Kilkenny have enough strength in depth to cope with their latest wave of retirements.

The Cats have lost Tommy Walsh and David Herity to intercounty retirement in the last five days but Tipperary veteran Corbett - who looks set to soldier on in 2015 at the age of 33 - doesn't think the Black & Amber will struggle:

"I don't think so, if you look at Kilkenny over the last ten years, look at the team that started the 2000 All-Ireland final and look at the team now, it's totally, totally changed," he reasons in The Irish Times.

"They've one or two players coming through every year which is a great addition for any team, so just because there's one or two dropping off it at the top end it doesn't change.

"You look at this year even and there's always one or two ready to take their place. If you look at Kilkenny they have six, seven or eight All Stars every year so there's new lads coming in and that really makes a difference. It all just shows the strength and depth that they have."
