We match up better against Waterford. Tim Burke is better than Shaun Murphy though.
But Iād rather have Chinner than Ozzie.
Bring the 2 of them to Thurles. Fuck Cork.

Would ye play it in Tom Sempleās field or would ye baulk at the hoooodoooo?
I think most teams would take Chin over Gleeson. I certainly would.

They got that monkey off their back last year
De Burca is class at reading the play but, if last Saturday is anything to go by, his distribution is absolutely pathetic.
I can see Hanlon man marking Austin Gleeson.
Iād say if Cork is ready to go, Frank will.push for it. The capacity of both is more or less the same now.
I think Tipperary would definitely have been too strong for us but Waterford will probably be a little too much for us. We have a better chance against them though as they donāt have Tipperaryās firepower. Iām still concerned about a couple of defensive weaknesses in our team and we need more pace in attack if weāre only playing 5 forwards with McGovern and Dunne out.
Waterfordās defensiveness should suit ye better. Iām not sure this Waterford team is up to much really, think they are a good bit behind Cork, Tipp & Galway.
Definitely Chin for me.

Yes but surely Waterfords system is hand made for ye. I mean Davy practically invented the prototype and McGrath tried to develop it. Plus I think physicality will be to yeāre advantage
If itās ready, itāll be there.
If not, WD vs WX in Thurles and Tipp vs Clare in Limerick are the obvious fixtures.
Possibly but I would day theyāll go for one venue. So itāll be Thurles or Cork.
Iād say Croke Park. All of Wexford will want to see this one.

Think Wexford match up well with Waterford. O Hanlon will be tasked to follow Gleeson and do a similar role to one he did against Canning in Leinster final. The Wexford forwards should be able to win more primary possession against Waterford backs who are smaller in stature. Chin and Barron will be a fascinating duel but Chin is just more athletic and stronger and would have the winning of that battle. I would expect Wexford to try and create mis matches with Guiney on Connors with Tadgh de Burca pulled out of that sweeper role which could leave Waterford exposed. Wexford will need to pose a goal threat though and I expect McDonald might have too much for Coughlan. Waterford may slightly take their eye off the ball after beating Kilkenny and think the hard work is done by getting their season back on track but I would give Wexford every chance.
I give Wexford a big big chance here .
When you have no one to mark is fairly easy to read the playā¦

Capacity could well dictate that these are kept seperate.
Any game in Cork will have a sizeable amount of tyre-kickers, myself included. Also a Waterford Wexford game within 2 hours of Wexford will bring roughly 100,000 people.

Have a quarter final weekend in Cork. Hold one on Saturday and then the second one the day after
