I canât see Waterford beating Tipp with all those injured & Moran suspended. But if theyâre back against us, they definitely could have a kick in them.
Need a win next week alright.
This game against Cork is huge. Extra weekâs rest and them coming off of such a tough game with only a 6 day turn aroundâŚwe will hardly ever have a better shot. Win that and we roll on to the home game against Waterford (who will be out for the third week in a row by then) with a bit of breathing space. Much and all as I am not convinced by this Clare team, I really dont fancy going to Ennis needing a win.

Fully agree with all that
Next weekends game is no more or less important as it was two weeks ago. There might have been some theorists out there who believed a Cork win would somehow see them take their foot of the pedal next week. If the second half of todayâs game in Thurles was as facile as the first, it would have been the same as a training session for them and they would have been well up for it. From a Limerick perspective the second half was exactly what they needed. Cork were out on their feet come full time and indeed another minute or two and Tipp may well have taken it.
A win next week is now a genuine possibility .
There is still every chance of us going to Ennis already qualified for a Munster final and thatâs what we should aim for.
Tipp showed a big pair of balls in that second half. They also showed how Cork can be bate. Push up on them. Put their backs under pressure and youâll turn the ball over. Corks panel is tight based on the subs they brought in. That Timmy OâMahoney fella almost broke his own back trying to double on the ball. Big awkward cunt
Correct.
Cork are very dangerous when they break the lines and Fitzgibbon and Kearney running at you with 6 forwards roaming all over the place .
Tipperary let them do what they wanted first half.
as soon as their backs were pressed and their runners swamped it fell apart.
Thatâs not to say itâs as easy as that. Cork have some great stickmen and have serious pace.
Limerick will have to up the pace of their game.
Yeah cork have some fine hurlers alright. Itâll be a great battle. We canât allow lehane and harnedy the freedom they got the last 2 days.
Gillane could do wreck in against that full back line with good ball. OâDonoghue is a fine corner back but heâs low sized and Gillane would be as quick as him. Gillane also has oceans more hurling than him. Iâd try get Aaron isolated with him.
Itâll be interesting to see what if any tweaks Kiely will make. Possibly Mike Casey in for Slippy. Any news on Peter? Still out?
Casey may feature on the bench v clare and Waterford but he wonât be really back until the 21 v tipp.
True . If Lk let cork get a run on them they will be well beat . If Lk make it a battle they have a chance.
I donâtâ think this team know when they are beat to be honest,they never seem to panic and always get a second wind and purple patch.
They havenât yet played a real championship match yet so we will see .
When youâre better than your opponentâs itâs never a real match. That tipp performance is understated. We dismantled them.
Lads,
Which stand is the better for tickets. Iâll pick em up during the week but havenât been to the new pairc yet so was just wondering
Did you sort the accommodation?
No not yet
Thereâs a few hostels on McCurtain street that are cheap as fuck and leave you drink away all night.

Much of a muchness Iâd say viewing-wise, south is probably better, has two levels and maybe more facilities. Twas baltic enough in the north last weekend anyway.
