Another week, another massive Munster Senior Hurling championship clash to look forward to.

This weekend Waterford are back in action, as are Cork, who will be looking to seal their place in the Munster Hurling final.

Both teams should be fresh having had last weekend off and both will be desperate for the victory, for different reasons.

While the Rebels are aiming to move a step closer to retaining their Munster crown by effectively booking their return to the decider, the Déise will be looking to keep their dreams of progressing to the All-Ireland season alive.

A loss away to Clare and a draw at home to Tipperary means it’s almost do-or-die now for Waterford.

Cork, on the other hand, come into this match with two wins out of two but a third straight triumph will give them the luxury of having a free hit against Clare in the final round.

It promises to be another Munster hurling thriller.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of throw-in.

Where is the game being played?

Azzurri Walsh Park in Waterford is the venue for the game.
