Thatâs 2 white flags they didnât raise today so.
Limerick are just bigger and meaner and work scores better. Waterford seem to try to run underneath challenges and end up more than often running into tackles than into space. If they canât bate them with no lynch they havenât much chance really
Limerick on gear.
Have they had a few hamstring injuries recently?
Only saw the last 5 minutes there because I was at another match but the All Ireland looks like another cakewalk for Limerick based on that. They just win every dirty ball thatâs there to be won against every team
Thatâll feel like a defeat for Limerick
Home game, homer referee. Theyâd have lost that without either.
Waterfordâs second goal was a thing of beauty
Cahill will be delighted with that I reckon
They seem to have. A sign of something or other.
Didnât get the rub from the ref that the home crowd gave Limerick. Neutral venue and a ref with a pair and we are good.
In trilogies it only matters who wins the last one of the series.
Tyrone didnât win either of the first two against Armagh in 2005, but they won the one that mattered.
Same with Kerry against Cork in 2009.
Same with Kilkenny against Galway in 2012.
Same with Clare against Cork in 2013.
This Limerick team have mentally destroyed you.
Waterford snuck the couple of quick goals and were promptly shut down again. They didnt score a point in the last 20 mins ffs.
Can somebody post up the rule on tackling in hurling. The amount of pulling and dragging that is let go is bizarre.
Waterford had a purple patch when they moved the ball so well Limerick couldnât get near enough to catch and release #fishy
They need to get a bit fitter as they ran out of steam but that game will cause Limerick problems on a faster Croke Park pitch.
Stack kept a tight leash on them.
Why would I worry about Limerick? Weâve beaten ye at our ease the last two years.
Good one
Waterford have huge scope to improve but theyll all need to click.
De Burca out of sorts and Barron having little impact. Need Iarlaith Daly fit too.
They played a lot of brainless stuff. All they had to do was keep hitting it into Dessie but instead decided to run into traffic.
Good auld workout. Missing Flanagan, Kyler and Cian gone after ten minutes. Waterford can take encouragement from losing by less this time. The rest of ye can seethe away until the next day. Champions find a way.
Absolutely spot on
Stack was very poor.
Hego should have been sitting in the stand after 5 minutes and it would have solved a lot of problems.
