I'm alternating between 'Oh f***', and 'We can do this'. If we can prevent Dublin getting into sequences where they get 4 or 5 scores in a row, then we could make it interesting. Having just typed that, it looks like blatant stating the obvious, but the key will be keeping Fenton and Kilkenny quiet, without leaving too much space for McCaffrey (presume he's fit?) or the likes. If them two are held in check, it makes minding Mannion and O'Callaghan that bit easier. If they get into a rhythm, any team will suffer, because then every other player is a danger. It's hard to judge where Dublin are relative to the Kildare and Louth games. I can't see us giving up the same amount of scoring opportunities as Louth did, and I think if we get our starting 6 and subs in the forwards right, then we could be right there.
I expect we'll be very defensive early doors, and the first half mightn't make for much of a spectacle, but like a lot of games this year, hopefully the 2nd half takes fire.
Usually with Ros, it's travelling more in hope than expectation, and it's the hope that kills you. It'll either be blown out of the water, or possibly something special and damn the torpedoes!!
