Munster Senior Hurling Championship 2018

heā€™s had days where they all go over as well the cunt. galvin can fire them over too.

Itā€™d be no harm for Kelly to fire over a few early wides and for him to do a Houdini disappearing act again.

Our half-forwards tend to drop back and play quite deep. Youā€™d hope that we would learn from Kearney & Fitzgibbon and prevent those kind of opportunities.

He can definitely put them over from far out, but Iā€™d much prefer to see him score a few points from out the field than to start pinging ball in in front of their full forward line.

Thought Ian Galvin couldā€™ve taken Reidys jersey. Interesting to see McInerney named at 6 with Cleary back to full back.

Podge Collins in for McGrath is expected.

The only surprise on that team is Rory Hayes taking Cian Dillonā€™s place on the bench.

Its a shame about McGrath, he has lost his pace since his hip operation.

For me he has been and is Clareā€™s best forward for years.

tbf heā€™d a great game last week. Any word on the team? I heard one change earlierā€¦

Havenā€™t they named them that way for every game?

That set of forwards could damage any team of they get enough ball.

I havent paid any attention to their named starting teams till this week.

Wherever Cleary plays is a bonus for us anyway.

McInerney plays full back. He played 6 in the league but it didnā€™t work out, they swapped him back with Cleary but left them numbered as they were in the league for some reason.

Ah ok, I have been v impressed with McInerney throughout this Munster championship at fullback. Just found it odd that they keep naming him at 6 when he hasnt played there for a couple games.

He is not a 6 . A good defender , as he is quick , tough and likes to defend . Clare had 6 of them in the 90s . Their defence now is very average .

Limerick should win .

Super player. Made sense to try him at 6 to see about having him have more influence on games but didnā€™t work out, no loss, heā€™s a super full back.

I was worried prior to the Tipp and Waterford games. Was confident ahead of Cork and Iā€™m the same this week to be honest.

There was nothing between Limerick and Clare in that 100 minute game in the league, but I think weā€™ve improved game after game, especially since M Casey went full back.

Better bench and better backs, think weā€™ll win.

Not a natural reader or sweeper as a 6 . A fine defender though .

You would hardly know it but Cork are still in the championship

Eoin Cadogan starts at 6 instead of (an injured) Mark Ellis and Meade in for Brosnan
