It's getting to the stage that it's rare to see a legal handpass.

Correct. Mad stuff alright all this throwing the sliotar.

Some day a ref will rightly clamp down on it and get filleted by the "let it flow" brigade.

Not sure Premier. Tipp started well. They went 6-2 up I think, and were playing intelligent ball up the wings. Niall O'Meara came out and got a couple of balls. The trouble seemed to start when Tipp started trying to overcook it, and Kevin Moran and Tadgh de Burca made hay. If they had pulled out Bubbles and Callanan then I think they'd have got more joy. Bonner hardly felt the weight of it apart from the 2 points he got. You need to get your best players on the ball.

That tipp team has always been mentally weak against the likes of Kilkenny . Nothing over the weekend suggested there is any team that can beat them . 3 average enough games with a lot of sides and poor passing.

That's true, but I did see a lot more fight out of the Tipp forwards, in terms of hooking and blocking. They showed last year they can compete with Kilkenny. It'll be that sort of fight that they'll need to get them over the line.

But their chronic inability to win primary possession when the game is in the fire will come back to haunt them unless they sort it out.

It's funny because it's true.

One of the hardest spots for a referee due to positioning timing and speed of passes.... As a referee if I can't see a clear strike then its a throw... But in a ruck of players and a ball is played it only takes a player to obstruct view then you cant call it as a throw.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

It's not just in rucks though MR. At this stage they should just say an underhand throw is legal.

How do you see the two quarter finals going? Waterford v Dublin at 2pm so would fancy us to win that with maybe 5 points to spare. It won't be a great game and don't think it'll be high scoring but think Waterford have enough to see off Dublin who haven't been great so far in the championship.
Galway v Cork is hard to call as Cork have momentum behind them after two wins while Galway performed well enough in Leinster but are coming from a defeat. Cork seem to have tightened up in last 2 games and have kept a clean sheet in both.

Very poor from Rushe there, an awful stroke and no need for it. Waterford the better team and deserved winners.

The heavy conditions would have suited Dublin's gym bunny hurlers, but Waterford were just too good for them.

The second game is truly awful. Both teams are brutal and the game has no sense or meaning. If Galway were any good they'd be 15 points aead now.

No need for Shanahan acting the bollix for 70 minutes either

If there is a God we'll get a Galway v Waterford AI final.
