He looks like heās related to everyone alright.
Limerick and Cork should be a cracker of a game, both seem to want to play a nice passing brand of hurling where possible, but not afraid to mix it at the same time. Limerickās sharpness and decision making will need to up it a notch from Sunday.
The goals came from sloppy dispositions in our own half too.
Youād expect that the game will bring Limerick on a lot. Clare did create plenty of chances but were very inefficient. We werenāt the most efficient ourselves so there is a lot of improvement needed.
Watched the game back earlier, Cork wont be able to deal with this Limerick team.
Kyle Hayes and Hegarty completed negated the two Mahers. Gillane has that Patrickswell arrogance that you cant buy.
Thought Hickey actually did alright in the 2nd half. Heās not a full back though and M Casey should come in for him Saturday week.
I dont see Cork being able to deal with our all action half back and forward lines. Particularly after another game for them this weekend.
Whenās Peter Casey due back? I dont see him taking Mulcahys spot after his 4 pts from play in the first half last Sunday.
Heāll have to work his way back into contention like everyone else, which is fantastic to see.
He is due back for the Waterford game. He is not going to start, they could move Gillane to full forward with Flanagan missing out but I donāt see it at the moment.

Be great to see Gillane and Mulcahy terrorising the corner backs like last week and then a pissed off and determined Peter Casey coming in with 10 or 15 to go
Iād say thereās next to no chance of Casey coming back in as a starter and I wouldnāt be surprised if itās two games from the bench or something. I think the target at the moment is the 21s game v tipp. Heāll have been out for the bones of three months by the times heās back and itāll take a good while to build up his fitness. Hopefully he comes back fresh as his form dropped in 2016 after naps all Ireland win understandably. Although heās probbaly involved in less teams now which is a help. Limerick definitely need to manage him anyway we brought hannon back too early a few times and it ruined his season.
Youāre dreaming mate, Corks middle 8 was just as impressive the other day, the Limerick lads will be up the walls just keeping up

Be no marathon solo runs from Coleman and Fitzgibbon I can guarantee that much and man inside with the canopy for a nose will disappear after the first belt he gets too,far better Cork sides have crumbled to lesser Limerick ones.

100%. Buy the suits. Write the songs 
I reckon we could get a trimming down in Cork.
A match day haircut down below? Splendid idea!
Iād be more worried about Waterford at home and Clare in Ennis the week after.
Weāll see.
All the away games will be tough to win. If cork lose on Sunday which they will, theyāll be fighting for their lifeās to stay in it v us. Personally Iād hope cork win. Tipp still have the best players in the country and I wouldnāt fancy us were we to play them again. Iād fancy us to beat anybody bar them and Galway at the moment in a knockout game.
Itās a different test completely. I havenāt watched it all back yet, but looked at the last 20 minutes last night. Tipp really were not at the races, and Cork, at home, will turn up for sure.
Cork like to run with the ball, and have loads of pace, and we need to bottle them up and ensure we donāt foul.
But I thought their half-back line struggled with Clareās more powerful runners. And Iād be surprised if our midfield was walked through as easily as Clareās.

Id agree 100% Galway and Tipp are the ones to aim for I think Kilkenny are fucked and Galway will bury them Sunday,Waterford are blunt even when at full strength expect Clare to do the business too.Tipp will beat Clare and Waterford in their last 2 games.
Iād love if tipp were gone. I think itās very difficult to beat the same team twice in championship. Cork/Waterford last year, Galway/kk in 2012, Its very tough.
