Other than Clare, they haven’t met a good team yet? What did ye score against Clare?
Labane getting the asterisks in early.
Are Clare not a good team having knocked out Tipp, hammering Wexford in an AI QF and drawing with the reigning AI champions in a SF?
Clare are a good team. But if you accept the form line then that makes cork a good team too. And limerick

A good team doesn’t collapse like a wet blanket in the last ten minutes of an AI SF, which this Cork team have done two years running. Cork are simply not a good team, they are weak mentally.
The three remaining teams are all good teams, all have a never beaten attitude.

Agreed.
Looks like my point might still stand.
Too early to be definitive about it, but promising signs for Limerick.

Cork first 15 are very very good. No depth is the problem. They were exhausted, not mentally weak.

only mentally weak men get exhausted, mind over matter…
We’ve beaten the big 3 this year.
A proper All Ireland win. @GeoffreyBoycott might be able to tell us the last time a team beat each of the big 3 in a single championship

I’ve referenced it on another thread - I believe only Waterford (1959) and Clare (1997) have done it.

Its in the bag mate.
I imagine it was very hard for Leinster teams to beat the big 3 in times gone by

Limerick are leaders in all Depth Charts. They can NOT be BEATEN.
All other talk it twaddle.
If Limerick beat Galway in the final, they would win the All-Ireland having beaten the three champions of the last three years - Kilkenny, Tipperary and Galway, along the way.
Off the top of my head I can’t think of a team who has done this in either hurling or Gaelic football.
As I referenced earler, Kildare beat the three previous champions in the 1998 football championship but lost the final.
Actually, as I write I have thought of one team which has done it - Derry in 1993.
Cork in 1919 are the only team to have done it in hurling. Beat Tipperary (1916 winners) and Limerick (1918 winners) in Munster and Dublin (1917 winners) in All Ireland Final.
