Unreal stuff. KK just ran out of steam the last 15 mins or so. Some brilliant hurling across all the age groups the last few weeks.

It wasn't that great a game yesterday. Kilkenny got 2 dubious goals and another from a rebound. And galway still won by 7. Galway are streets ahead of them and stepped it up when they needed it.

1-3 from Kilkenny's starting forwards compared to Galway's 1-18 tells another story.

Galway are more fluid. They have better decision making .
KK shot a few bad wides towards the end  They need more experience as a team. Galway showed what they can do in the first half

Ref was a bit kind to KK to say the least but it's hardly the first time you've heard that said in years.

Galway just have the extra power and skill now to kick on when they want to.

Kilkennys spirit has to be admired but they're well short of the team they once were.

They may get over Limerick but you'd have to say that could be their summer over as I can't see them doing Cork or Galway again.

KK have some great hurlers like Reid but they also have young lads lacking big game experience such as Leahy here at
3.44

He didn't see who else was available and he shot wide.
Galway would have worked a score out of that.
KK are not as slick because of this aspect of the team. They could be great in a few years but not this year.

Do we know the venues for next weekends matches and how much will the last two weeks affect KK.
Double bill in Thurles makes most sense. A KK mate said he heard there's a push on to have the double bill in Pairc Ui Chaoimh instead. Maybe that's the delay in the announcement as wouldn't imagine either of the Leinster teams would want to go to Cork, but I'd imagine we'll hear shortly.

I'd love to see Limerick wipe them out.

Galway were something else yesterday could and should have won by a good bit more but this will stand to them as the year goes on.

The skill level of the Galway men is unreal.

Limerick need to win this. They have to put a decent run together to get where they should be.

Galway are even money to win, along with Dublin at 8/11, thats free money!

Richie Hogan is needed earlier on the field for KK
Great decision making on the ball and a great man to win a free with a dip of the head into a 'high tackle'

His legs are gone. He was favourite for a ball and Harte left him for dead.

Not sure he'll ever reach his top level again

I think he was trying to be sarcastic about Hogan, one of the best hurlers over the past 10 plus years! Shame,  as he was one of my favourites

Not sarcastic at all
I thought he changed both games when introduced

I get the impression he's not fit enough to start and Cody is using him as an impact sub. He'll need a good winter to get a bit of speed back into his legs as he was slow on Sunday.

He's past his peak, though his peak was a lot higher than most, so he'd be able to get to a level to most county hurlers but i just can't see it, Cody is bleeding in a new team..

Cant see him getting another winter training behind him, sadly
