Tipperary manager Michael Ryan is adamant that his charges must be at their best if they are to see off Limerick in Sunday's Munster SHC semi-final.

The sides clash at Semple Stadium with the victors going on to meet Waterford in the final.

Tipp go into the match as strong favourites, but Ryan is taking nothing for granted against the Shannonsiders.

Speaking to the Tipperary Star, he stressed that the players and management were not looking beyond this weekend's clash.

"We are absolutely under no illusions about this game on Sunday. I'm hearing talk about Munster finals against Waterford, but I can assure you nobody within our squad is thinking about that - we have one goal and that's to get over Limerick on Sunday," said Ryan.

"They have never yet come to play us and underperformed. The venue won't matter one bit at all and we are treating this game as a mighty test. It will take all our concentration to get over this game and hopefully we will have a strong support in Thurles because that can be vital too."
