Yeah. Tommy will be licking his lips at the thoughts of marking Johnno. 
Massive game for our Captain. If Shane does not perform and we are bet, then i reckon he won’t be seen in a Tipp jersey again. Bonnar too needs to find a performance, he has been septic so far this year.
[quote=“carryharry, post: 796680, member: 1517”]Thank fuck Bubbles & Kelly start. Dunno if starting Lar will work tbh as i feel he would offer us more late in the game off the bench.
In saying that we have options on the line in Forde,S Bourke, Bergin, Woodlock, Callinan & P Bourke.
When will KK name their team?[/quote]
Which of those subs do you see influencing the game? Like the look of Forde but none of the rest inspire much confidence. If Lar stays away from Tommy he might actually have a decent game.
Kk team usually named on Friday night.
E Murphy
C Fogarty JJ Delaney J Tyrrell
T Walsh B Hogan K Joyce
M Rice L Ryan
W Walsh R Power E Larkin
CFennelly R Hogan A Fogarty
D Herity P Hogan P Walsh R Doyle TJ Reid M Ruth G Aylward W Phelan M Kelly J Brennan B Kennedy
What has happened O’Meara at all? Centre or full forward is the only place for lar against kk, tyrell has the Indian sign over him.
Jaysus when you see it laid out like that, that’s two underwhelming teams. Don’t know what the hype is about.
He hasn’t the legs for summer hurling.

Jaysus the only fella worth bringing on is Herity and that’s saying something. This could be very ugly.
Or the hands, feet or brain. Just not up to it.
Pity. He had such a good nickname.

Nothing awe inspiring about that team. Bench looks very weak. This is Tipp’s big opportunity.
Tipp still picking Kelly 
Yerra that Tipp team is as stale as fuck too.
The more i look at the Tipp team named, the more i think there will be changes before throw in.
True enough but KK are missing most of their leaders, Shefflin, Fennelly and Murphy who has been outstanding since he broke into the team. If Tipp can’t seize this chance to finish off an ailing KK side then they are at nothing.
Michael Fennelly is the biggest loss to kk. Without him Tipp have a chance.
Dubs by one.
Tipp by 5. Pressure is all on Tipp for this one but KK really looked like they had nothing left for the last 2 weeks. They haven’t even looked like scoring.

Same for KK I’d say, possibly some late fitness tests too[/quote]
Kilkenny have fuck all options. Basically send out the same team that was well beaten in all but the scoreline last weekend.
Tipp by 5/6 points

Will Tipperary have the stomach for the fight if Kilkenny stay in the game into the second half, Fran?
If Kilkenny manage to be ahead of them with 15 minutes to go I’d expect them to close it out. But I can’t see that happening. Don’t know where the scores will come from.
