Dan Shanahan is confident that Waterford can put it up to Kilkenny in their All-Ireland SHC semi-final.
Na Deise will go into the August 7th clash as outsiders following their Munster final drubbing but selector Shanahan believes they can rattle the All-Ireland champions at HQ.
"As a young fella, who wouldn't want to play in Croke Park? It's every young fella's dream to play against Kilkenny in Croke Park. You never know. To get a bit of luck and win the game would be nice," he says in The Irish Independent.
"I wouldn't be involved if I didn't think we could win. Of course Kilkenny are the All-Ireland favourites and the All-Ireland champions, and we'll give them the respect they deserve.
"But we're going to give them one hell of a battle, and Brian Cody knows that too."
