Wexford manager Liam Dunne believes that Waterford will not defer from the system of play that they use for Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarterfinal.

Following Waterford's heavy defeat to Tipperary in the Munster SHC final, the Deise could be forgiven for dropping their defensive style for a more orthodox style of play.

Dunne told the Wexford People that would not be the case as they have had plenty of success in the past using that style.

"Waterford are not going to change at this stage, irrespective of what happened in the Munster final, as up to then their plan had served them well," said Dunne.

"We will have to adapt to meet the Waterford system and use our heads, as it may not be of use pumping high ball continually in on top of three to four defenders.

"When we met in the league, we adapted and coped with their plan, so it's just a case of bringing our own game and applying the pressure on Waterford."
