Waterford in my opinion have next best first 15,on paper they should be challenging Limerick.

Kiely said hannon had the flu and Hayes had a knock, better not to risk Hayes with championship coming.

Ya I agree. Hate to say it but Waterford's recent round robin form stinks

If Clare could play consistently like they did against us in the Munster final then they will be a threat, they were at their peak and Limerick were just trending upwards when they met. Its so hard to know where they are at now. They put their hearts and souls into beating us in the Munster final last year and were so emotionally and physically drained from it, they never recovered. If they have learned anything it should be that the Limerick game is just another game for them especially in the round robin and Munster, they should have their eyes on Croker rather than on us. I think the Clare Limerick games are to the Clare supporters and team what the Limerick Tipp games were to the Limerick supporters and team years ago. Their over reliance on TK has probably been their Achilles heel over the years imo, if he's not shooting the lights out who else will do it. Limerick won't mark him as they don't change their game for anyone and he always plays well against us but other teams have managed to shut him down fairly well over the last few seasons when you get to the business end of things.

To be honest I think a fully fit Waterford squad would be the biggest challenge to Limerick. However that is not the case or has not been for the last few years. Despite the talk of dept you don't replace Gleeson, Barron, Prunty, McNulty, Daly, De Burca, McNulty, Bennett. All or some combination have been injured at different stages. The same is going to be true in two weeks time. I know ever time have injuries but in a county of our modest resources that is a big challenge. The talk of our dept is and was always nonsense. We have a lot of players of similar vintage and that is about it.

They won minor and u21 AIs together. They are a good group. Plus you then have TdeB, Barron etc

Canuck, I agree with you that a kick of any kind is a red card, and I already said that Breen should have been sent off. I'm glad that you have reflected further on your comment that two or three other Tipp players should have been sent off. I wasn't at the game but I have since spoken to a Waterford friend who goes to all the games and he saw no red card offences other than Breen and Jamie Barron.

And those could be avoided if the instigators and targeting was yellow carded at the start. I am not blind to what is going on while the emphasis is on throwing the ball. Not saying it showed be ignores but an obsession now. Twice Limerick were penalized in the wrong for it Sun. I know the rule a striking action and the elbow has to come back to see that, but if the elbow has a hand being it that is not going to happen.

Do we have any sense as to what Waterford are up to? The run in to this championship game is very quiet. Dealer (Limerick) - Posts: 835 - 20/04/2023 16:15:29 2471993 Link 1 |

I believe they'll have a pretty full deck bar mcnulty. I think they'll push up on our FB line and make us go long. I think they will also put big men in on our FB line like kiely gleeson Bennett and I think they might move dessie and Fitzgerald out around hannon ala tipp in 21 munster final and they'll go long and try and feed off breaking ball. They'll swarm our midfield with runners and try and make it a bit of a mess in there. They'll bring a manic intensity and energy to the match and it'll take a very good first 25 mins to stifle that. I believe Limerick are moving very well and are highly motivated for this on Sunday. Tactically it'll be intriguing and Davy will try and make it messy which you wouldn't blame him. There will be fierce pressure applied from the sideline and the stats boys in the stands will be busy with movements as I feel Davy will possibly bring 2 or 3 different looks in the 1st half. The plan for Limerick will be to stick to their game plan, bring a huge energy to the table and modify our shape as the game progresses. I'm looking forward to this as Davy has never faced kieky and kinnerk in championship and he said last year he had a plan to stop Limerick so all will be revealed daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1125 - 20/04/2023 16:29:11 2472003 Link 1 |

Will Davy show his full hand tactically in what is not a knockout game?

Davy will have specific plans for each team he plays

Last year Waterford might have thought they were in a good enough place but given most are ranking them 5th in Munster he doesn't have the luxury of keeping something in his locker. If Waterford don't get out of Munster it'll be a disaster for them given where they were a couple of years ago. Also given the mad tactics he's likely to come up with players will need games to get used to it too. I'd love to see Waterford hurling orthodox hurling and making use of Dessie and maybe Gleeson in full forward line and really going after Limerick. They've bucket loads of quality. However, Limerick are too far ahead and I think it'll be a comfortable win by the time the final whistle goes tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 21/04/2023 07:07:05 2472071 Link 0 |

I would be fairly sure the forwards will not line out as presented. I think he will try to win but it would be stupid to put all the eggs in the basket of beating Limerick. Especially playing anyone with slight injuries. Last year Daly went over on his angle and was left on until he was seriously injured. Cahill is no genius either. Who knows what Davy will try as he is a bit crazy anyway.

Good win for the Minors the other night. Hard luck to the U20s last night, they put in a storming second half, but overall Tipp were that bit better. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4317 - 22/04/2023 10:47:43 2472338 Link 2 |

Its finally arrived . First day of Munster Hurling Championship. Should be two great games. I fancy Tipp to beat Clare by a point and after a huge battle Limerick to prevail against a much improved Wateford. Let the games begin.
