Waterford are likely to re-shuffle the pack

THE meeting of Limerick and Waterford in Thurles intrigues me for a number of reasons.

It is the clash of two counties with terrific support and with the massive incentive of a Munster final appearance for the winner, it is going to be a game which I’m finding very hard to call.

Both sides had a poor league campaign (though Limerick did finish strongly). Both sides also had early trouble in camp, but I think we can put all that to one side now. And as the Clare/Tipp game showed, league form doesn’t count for much when it comes to championship.
