Clonmel set for big test at Bruff
This will be Bruff’s first home game in this campaign, having played games in Cork for the last three weeks with considerable success. Although they have a game in hand on the other sides at the top of the table, their failure to pick up a bonus point is a worry, as this was the primary reason they won the title last season. Clonmel ran in ten tries last week, but are unlikely to find the Bruff defence in such a generous mood and it would be a major surprise if the Tipperary side were to end Bruff’s unbeaten run this season.
Leaders Nenagh who have a four point lead over Clonmel, have a home game against Bandon Bandon having dropped two more points last week with that draw against Kilfeacle, must win this game if they are to have any realistic hope chance of being in with a chance of winning the title, but the North Tipperary venue is not an easy place for visiting sides.
