There should be at least one and possibly two more AI's in the current squad.  As a group, I think they would be disappointed if that goal wasn't achieved.  Of course you need to be lucky with injuries to key players and to date we have been.  However, similar to the footballers, we don't have much cover in the backs and losing the likes of Daithi or Gearoid Mac would be difficult.

Looks like both games this weekend are going to be well attended with the Cork v Limerick game estimated at over 70K.

There'll be over 60k at the other one on the Saturday night as well I'd reckon.

Harnedy would be a big blow to them.

Super Sunday, you never know with Cork in recent times so wouldnt write Limerick off just yet. Galway were a joy to watch in the replay but will need more goals which should help them to pip Clare.

By the way A Clare/limerick final would be sight to behold in Croke, even for the colour alone.

If Clare can get up to the level they played against Cork for the first 30 minutes in the Munster final and how to batten down the hatches when coming under sustained pressure they'll give a stuttering Galway a thing or two to think about.

If Galway are complacent in any way Clare might make them pay. O'Donoghue is normally good in that regard but the fans are expecting a win with no issues and that can feed into the players minds.

No, we most certainly are not!  I expect that our backs are going to have their sternest test to date, tomorrow.  Will be interesting to see what 6 forwards we start with...............

A serious amount of rain in Dublin for last 12 hours and no signs yet of it letting up -will have a big bearing on the game today

All too easy for Galway look too physically strong for Clare.

Looks like a senior team against a minor team, Clare getting absolutely bullied
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!
