Bear arms. Disclose it all. With these two there are no dummies or major sleights of hand. Kilkenny and Limerick will go at it like they always do. Both knowing what is coming down the tracks. Both will meet that challenge head on.

It doesn’t take much guesswork when it comes to how they play and who are their pillars. Every individual, all principles and practices are already known. There might be twist in plot but when it comes to the participants this final is an open book.
