Do you need help there Joseph?

With what

You’d have to tell me, but the dozen or so question marks indicated some bit of confusion on your part.

I’m fully copped on Joseph. As long as you’re okay so, do carry on.

Talk is that Podge will start, Kelly on the bench

Nice article by Christy O Connor in todays Indo.

Conor McGrath will be on free taking duty for Clare tomorrow

I do not like our line up @Raylan

Not too many would have predicted that 15 alright. Bugler to drop into the backs, Reidy and Galvin midfield, Podge in the half line with Cunningham staying inside and one of Honan/Conlon/McGrath rotating in and out? Assuming that team starts at all of course.

I presume Tony Kelly will get some game time?

Kinnerk was telling me he’ll be a gamechanger when he comes on around the 40 minute mark mate.

pure class he his

has it all mate…keep him and Podge injury free and ye’ll have a big say in Croke Park this summer.

I’d love Limerick to play Clare again up there and properly address the 2013 disaster.

I love to beat ye in Dublin AGAIN

I think the loss of both David Mc and Conor Ryan might be our undoing today. We could badly do with Cian Dillon to do a marking job but I assume he will be kept as a sweeper where he excelled v Tipp.

I would expect Oisin O’Brien to be given the man marking job on Richie Hogan today, big opportunity for him and if he can break even he would give himself a great chance of holdibg his place for Waterford in June. We have three men in the half back line who are all physical and strong in the air which should see us compete well with Kilkenny but we probably lack a bit of hurling in this line so there is a big onus on Galvin and Reidy as linkmen today.
God knows what we will do with Tj Reid.

Great to see Podge back, supposed to have looked very sharp for Cratloe last week but this is a big step up. We should have decent options to come off the bench with 20 odd minutes to go with Colin Ryan, Kelly, Morey, Shanagher, Tots et al. Hopefully we are well in contention at that point.

Best of luck to Clare today, my 32nd favourite hurling county
