Waterford manager Derek McGrath believes that Limerick are like a wounded animal ahead of their Allianz NHL semi-final clash on Sunday.
There has been a lot written about unrest in the Limerick camp, but they dispelled those rumours when comfortably defeating Dublin the quarterfinal.
However, McGrath who saw his side struggle past Wexford in the last eight clash, is adamant that Limerick are not done yet.
And he stressed to the Waterford News & Star that his charges will not be taking them for granted when the sides meet at Semple Stadium this weekend.
"You have a team that is hurt from unfounded rumours and things circulating that the camp is not particularly happy," states McGrath.
"If I could single out two managers that I'm particularly happy for over the last week or so it would be TJ Ryan and Liam Dunne.
"I find them absolute gentlemen to deal with and they are in it for the right reasons. I will be looking forward to that match against TJ but Limerick are formidable opposition, it's as simple as that.
"Look, it's where we want to be. We have two weeks of good preparation done now and it keeps things going."
