I think it will be a Tipp v Waterford final as Tipp should beat the cats in semi.

Im sure we will have a competitive game, unlike Lenster which is still a one county province even though they allow the best of ulster and Connacht to play there.

Dont think it matters much-Kilkenny are going to win the All Ireland at a canter this year. They look like they havent broke a sweat yet.

I think cork need to score goals to win the game.... 19 points is good in any game but they should have scored more in the dominance they had in the tipp game.... aiske will be key but more key will be the ball they get into him if the supply is hindered then cork could be beaten.... if they stop they supply from the half back line waterford could come out on top.... still think waterford are short 1/2 top forwards...

It's a tough one to call but if they stop the supply and prevent aiske from winning clean ball then I'd go for waterford. Aiske didn't have such a great day aginst limerick when the quality of ball going into him wasn't as good.

If Tipp meet Galway in quarters which is likely theyl give them a bigger mauling than Kilkenny gave them and a bigger beating than we gave them earlier in the league!

If Tipp get to All Ireland final this year I hopw we dont have a dodgy ref who gives penalties to the opposition when its actually a free the other way like kast years final!

I think it is fair to say that so far people are basing their assessment of Aisake on a coulpe of games?

Limerick converted a half forward from last year's panel into a full back for this year and he shackled Aisake.

While a good option for going long & as a target man, Aisake will need to do damage Sunday before he's made a real impact.

Slayer from Limerick you know your hurling I couldnt agree with you more.

Fair enough Slayer.

I think Aisake though has silenced his critics in the the Tipperary game. People moaned about him before the game that he was not capable of performing. Then he performed and people say well, you know, Tipp were flat, Tipp were this, Tipp were that. Ultimately, the guy has a lot of critics and he can not do any right. I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of Aisake myself, but after the Tipp game, I am going to give him a break. He has performed in a big championship match and he can do it again.

bennybunny,

I think he did very well V Tipp but I think back to the Galway game last year and this year's Limerick game & there was little or nothing to impress me in either.

If he does well sunday I'll be the first to say well done to him.

Yourmotha did you know that in the history of hurling Offaly have never beaten Tipperary in a senior hurling championship game keep the faith ha ha! Keep the faith

Great weekend of sport-am hoping for a tight exciting game with Waterford and Cork. It will be very interesting to see the form presented; reckon after this match we will see how good Cork are and also if Waterford have another sting left (heard Waterford has a few injuries????). I must admit I get great pleasure out of watching Waterford's Eoin Kelly and Mr Mullane himself; having said that I have great respect for the Cork hurlers having got back to a good level of play after the strike etc. Good luck to both!

SirShaughs You are right there. That hard training session Tipp did the day before the Cork Munster championship left us a little flat but the game itself was a goot training session for Tipp in preparation for the big one in September.

Lar Corbett , known as Twinkle Toes in Tipp, We can only say one thing about him absolutely devastating!

what makes you think tipp will be there in sept theres v little pedigree in the tipp team how many of the 15 have AI senior medals and dont use last year as an excuse to say your the main contenders even limerick got to the final its all about winning lad and stop making excuses for your loss to cork its an average cork team and ye looked like kids against men heavy training or not
