Unless OāBrien is absolutely flying Glas Iād go with the same 15 that started against Galway.
Wexford after winning 3 leinsters in a row at this grade are going to be v tough opposition. We wouldnt want it any other way though.
Weāve very strong bench aswel, Im really looking forward to the game, great tonic this team have been since the disaster of a senior campaign.
Personally think Wexford should be justifiable favourites. Very Kilkennyesque in their journey through Leinster.
However the pressure is all on them. Question is can they handle it?
Coming from Kilmallock, you are always confident.
Didnāt we do that for the league match?
I think it was for the opening of the Wexford Centre of Excellence.
That must be a small place.
Thatās more like the Limerick we know and love.
Heād have been earmarked as our strongest forward at this level at the start of the year. I think heās a cracking player and heās stronger and older than most of the forwards that started against galway. If heās fit and on form iād be pencilling him in.
Iād expect the same 15 to line out with a couple of possible changes to the bench. Kevin OāBrien looked laboured against Kilmallock when I last saw him and he had a fairly heavy strapping to the hammer. Heāll have had 2 weeks further recuperation by next Saturday but I donāt think heāll start.
If Robbie Hanley is fit Iād expect him to at least make the bench, maybe along with Aaron Gillane who was excellent in the game mentioned above.
Gillane was tremendous in that game, caught a few great balls at wing forward. He outshone a few of the much bigger names on view from both teams.
Canāt envisage many changes from the last day. Really think ALTC can be the best of this bunch long term but a great sub to bring in. Came on in the forwards in Ennis (wasnāt match sharp that night) and plays there for his club but I think his best position is wing back. Had a nice cameo there against Galway.
Itās all well and good saying 11 of the starting team are underage again next year and most of them have two years left at this grade etc but itās the here and now that matters. Itād be a nice boost after a fairly grim year overall.
The Munster final win was the boost. Hopefully after Saturday we ll be chomping waiting for next year
Was he the #10? He roasted Kevin OāDonnell. The Well did a lot of damage down that wing.
That was him alright, best Iāve seen him play. OāDonnell is a smashing player but heād a tough day on him.
He took three balls over his head.
Iāll probably go to this. No harm to see 21ās at least once this year.
I hope they lose though for disrupting the football schedule.
Are ye playing on the Wednesday or Thursday night, pal?
Wouldnāt mind seeing that game but Iām trying to fit in a couple of days racing in Listowel next week too.
Iām not even from limerick, and Iām appalled.
Cunt should be deported to Kerry.
This Limerick team will win three in a row at U21 level.
Wednesday, so I canāt go to the National because of the cunts.
Iām taking Thursday off to go for the Lartigue instead.
Letās try for one in a row first.
I canāt understand the 2/5 odds on Limerick.
