John Mullane intends to fulfill his promise to ride a horse naked down Waterford's quays if Na Deise win the All-Ireland.

Earlier this summer, the former Waterford forward joked that "if Waterford win the All-Ireland, I'll jump on a horse in the nude and go down the quays".

Derek McGrath's charges are now just one win away from the Liam MacCarthy Cup and Mullane is not going to back out of his promise:

"At the time, it was a bit of fun. It would be out of elation if we did pull it off. If the lads do pull it off, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement. We might do something with getting a charity involved and possibly getting a few bob for the lads' team holiday because the lads have given us a fantastic summer," he commented on RTE Radio this morning.

"Willie Mullins, Aidan O'Brien, Jim Bolger - if they want to promote their horse and if they want to get their picture taken with me going down the quay with Liam McCarthy over the course of the next couple of months, get the money out and we'll talk business."

Looking ahead to Sunday's final against Galway, Mullane believes the Suirsiders have a great chance: "The closer it gets, I'm going to have my Waterford hat on. There's an awful lot of pressure on Galway. I'll say it straight: I think the bookies have it wrong. I think it's 55-45 in Galway's favour, but both teams will feel they'll have a cracking chance of winning this final."
