Crummy going really well.
Big wind with Dublin. Theyāll need to be up five or six points at half time.
He is a great bit of stuff. Real aggressive hurler
Is Crummy 5 ya? Watching in a bar here. Heās lording it atm.
On paper in general, the backs are decent, maybe some question marks over OāCarroll. Itās whether they can get the scores in the forwards, especially with only 5. No Dillon, Burke, etc
Remember they started very well against Tipp in the quarter-final of the League but fell away very badly.
Dublin are all gusto. When it settles Iām worried. They need to hit everything over the bar.
Rushie looks like causing wreck any time he gets it. Three defenders hanging off him. Very poor effort from Sutcliffe with that shot.
That was a non event. They tore limerick apart last weekend. The challenge games before championship are often the best indicator.
7 I think, Barrett is 5
Kk backs arenāt comfortable on the ball
Eamonn Dillon is a big loss, another lad withbl great directness to him
What a save!!!
Ger Aylward will do well to see the second half. Beaten out to two balls and fluffs the goal chance. Will need to up it
Terrible from Leahy
Dublin doing good
As long as rushe doesnāt have to use the hurl he can be a very effective hurler
Donāt think the wind will be a huge factor given the tightness of the field and the amount of bodies in the middle third. You would still think Kilkenny will win it by 4 or 5 but the Dubs will keep it close
Moloney is hopeless on commentary.
Dublin Dublin Dublin
Dublin donāt have much of an outlet ball when playing out from the back.
Lovely improvisation from Keaney.
