If tipperary beat waterford by 6 goals, I think kk will have to much as they are better then tip. If kk dismantly de burca as tipp did with M Breen, kk will cruise home. Mc grath wont change current system at this stage, the system is flawed and wont win an AI for waterford. 222 (UK) - Posts: 693 - 03/08/2016 13:12:13 1894717 Link 0 |
Kilkenny will blow them away, Waterford will need goals and they wont get them with there system and they cant just change system now and expect it to work Brianmac78 (Dublin) - Posts: 1168 - 03/08/2016 13:24:06 1894726 Link 0 |
I hope Waterford take a leaf out of their U21s book and go at Kilkenny from the start. If they sit back and wait to hit the Cats on the break i just cant see them getting enough scores to overhaul them, and its hard not to see the Cats pulling away for an easy victory. The game of Hurling badly needs Waterford to upset the applecart here, but they will have to play out of their skins if they are to stop Kilkenny reaching another All Ireland Final.

Waterford have to have a cut. They've known for the past 12 months that this day was coming. I'd love to see them do it. People talk about their systems failure in the Munster final but they were totally flat on the day & Tipp were awesome. Galway V Tipp will be some game. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 03/08/2016 13:42:27 1894740 Link 1 |
I'm not sure KK have the ammunition to blow Waterford away as they don't have as big of a goal threat as in past times and Waterford won't let a repeat of the Munster final happen. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 03/08/2016 14:27:06 1894794 Link 0 |
Whatever the results the championship could do with 2 epic semi finals. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 03/08/2016 14:30:54 1894796 Link 0 |
They've no choice or that KK half back line will eat them alive. Stick Moran and Gleeson into the half forward line and see what happens. Give Holden enough to think about by leaving Maurice in there on his own. Waterford have to just go at it or they won't win it's as simple as that.

Fair enough analysis tiobraid but I beg to differ on one point.Galway did not struggle to create goal chances against Tipp last year.I recall your keeper making a great save from Mannion early on, he also saved a Canning penalty and in the 2nd half only a late block by Paudie Maher stopped Canning from adding to his store of special goals. Make no mistake theres goals in that Galway attack. Then again theres goals in that Tipp attack as well, plenty of them. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 03/08/2016 18:13:07 1894975 Link 0 |

I think next Sunday will be close. I'll say Kilkenny by 2 points. I'm saying this on the assumption that Waterford will have a bit more about them this time than they had in the corresponding game last year. If they don't, and instead play ultra defensive, I think the margin will be more like 6 or 7 points. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1903 - 03/08/2016 21:22:06 1895055 Link 0 |
I think Colin Fennelly needs two big performances as he owes it to KK. Serious talent that hasn't' really done it enough, although I thought he finished the last two finals very well. I think KK will have enough Sunday unless waterford go more direct then it could be a tighter game. Its strange really, last two leagues KK have been bang average and now they stand 70 mins away from another final. Funny old game. 222 (UK) - Posts: 693 - 03/08/2016 21:26:05 1895059 Link 0 |

Can't get over how easy it is to still get (decent) tickets for this. It's an All Ireland Semi Final! Will be interesting to see the attendance figures. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 04/08/2016 10:26:26 1895212 Link 0 |
I think the Munster final was just on of those days where Tipp were on fire and a few mistakes on Waterford's part were punched on mercilessly. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 04/08/2016 10:49:32 1895236 Link 1 |
For Sundays game im not convinced about Waterford..they have the hurlers but the system they play with wont do against kilkenny pidge (Cork) - Posts: 543 - 04/08/2016 12:30:25 1895364 Link 0 |
The ultimate bit is a dreary prospect but I think if we do get past Tipp we will learn from the Leinster final and manage to put together a full 70 minute performance that will be just about enough to win it. Getting past Tipp first though is enough to be getting on with.

Am i right in saying alot of folk seem to think if waterford play outside of the system and open up we wil l give kilkenny a right crack? ...still cant see mcgrath changing so hope our accuracy from 80+ yards has improved....heart says waterford by two, hopefully not to by broken again!! juniorjudge (Waterford) - Posts: 383 - 04/08/2016 14:24:00 1895536 Link 0 |
