Who’s capable of knocking Cats from their lofty perch?

I wrote last week that the lead-up to the All-Ireland final is difficult to manage and that I felt that all public appearances should be well finished by the weekend before the game.

I also wrote that clogging up the space was a prerequisite for Limerick when going into battle with the All-Ireland champions. They had a plan against Waterford which I felt would not be good enough for Kilkenny and Limerick had nothing new yesterday. Their failure to impose themselves physically on Kilkenny — a big physical team themselves — allowed the Cats to play an open game, much to the delight of their forwards.
