Lynch is a sickner but very unfortunate, we got to the semi last year without him so whoās to say they canāt do it again.
Kyle is different heās a mainstay but missed the league so they probably knew it was coming.
Dan will unlikely make it now at this stage. Zero running lately.
Next man up. No crying itās the Limerick way.
Will ye have a team at all?
Isnāt there a book called Unlimited Heartbreak?
I was very disappointed with the second half tactic of going long with the puck outs. Got a free of the first one, but lost the next three resulting in scores as Clare worked the ball back up the field. We were very good in the last 15 mins of the first half working the ball through the lines resulting in good scores. It hard to resist the temptation of going long with the breeze but I felt we should have stuck to what was working well in the first half.
Funny enough in the game in Ennis I thought KK were overdoing the short stick-passes when there was joy to be had from going direct, but itās definitely dependent on whether TJ is on the pitch or not. KK still probably won a majority of the rucks when it went to ground but thatās not an element you want to be relying on.
The Clare savages in work are bullish today. They have an air of confidence thatās bordering on complacency.
The next two weeks are going to hot and heavy 
Early in the year for the BIG DOG to be deployedā¦
Like SOD, is only broken out for championship
And yet still hits the ground running.
Youād wonder what the rest of them are doing all winter and is there any need for it at all
There really isnt.
Iāve a pain in my jaw today from telling them how great they are.
Theyāll love that.
Iād be shocked if Clare donāt bring a huge performance Sunday week and itāll be a huge task for Limerick to beat them but I wouldnāt be surprised if Clare do manage a win v us that they go and lose to cork the following weekend in cork.
Even for Clare beating Limerick Is one thing but to be still performing to their peak levels in the middle of July is a huge ask and requires excellent management.
Ennis is a graveyard for Limerickā¦ Law of averages suggests weāre due a win but itās a 55/45 game in favour of Clare imo. They were the better team over both games last year but for some awful shooting in the MF. Youāve the historic rivalry, Clareās record at home and Limerick being champions all in Clareās mindset. Theyāll ware into us and i think theyāll possibly nick it. Depends how much drinking Clare have done after Saturday nightā¦ SOD and Kelly back is huge and Adam Hogan has brought quality to a line that was arguably their weakest up to a couple of years ago. Weāve started slow the last few years, nothing to suggest otherwise here as weāll back ourselves to win at least two in Munster
Legs could be an issue for Limerick. Iād be mildly surprised if Limerick win. I think itās all set up for Clare.
Weāve had awful lot of injuries in the last few months. Given the miles on the clock it surely has to have an impact on performance.
If legs are an issue after 4 months of preparation something is amiss
Iād be hopeful we might bring something new to the table this year. 5/6 years of the same formula and the gap has definitely closed in Munster - naturally
What something new is Iām not sure - perhaps put more faith in youth
Or give the likes of Adam English, DOD or Shane O Brien a start
Putting Hego into full forward line beside Gillane would cause some headaches also for Clare.
Limerick will murder Clare in a fortnight
I donāt think preparation can take the mileage of the legs unfortunately.
I also expect kiely to pick everyone who won the first five as well for him.
