I see problems with trying to get tickets online..I might be stupid but is there a reason for the online sales for munster championship?could it not be done the old fashioned way through the clubs??or is this another way of ring fencing money through ticket sales??they will make plenty of money because the majority will buy for four games..

Think cork having to play Waterford in thurles might come home to haunt them

Leinster- Galway Kilkenny and Wexford
I'm tipping my own county without any degree confidence. Think lee chin's fitness may decide our fate but Hoping home advantage v Dublin might tip the balance in our favour

Munster- Limerick, Waterford and Tipp
Leinster- Kilkenny, Wexford and Galway

I had Dublin in for Galway but I think the games Galway have at home will swing it for them as it will for Wexford. Dublin hurlers can perform on the road tho so it remains to be seen.

I felt Tipp had a rough draw with being away to Waterford and Limerick but in hindsight if we can beat Clare and Cork at home it might be enough - but may well not be either (thats a big if tho). On current form we are 4th if not 5th in Munster.

I thought it was quite insulting that Sheedy didnt include Tipp in his predictions on Sunday regardless of what he thought. Albeit he did make a good point that itll be almost impossible to replace Brendan, Paudie, Bubbles, Seamie and Niall O'Meara as well as Bryan O'Mara who would have been a key player this year. Unfortunately for Tipp Sheedy left us in an awful position. Getting out of Munster is vital from a Tipp perspective. Not All Ireland contenders but its vital for the development of this team.

I think KK will win Leinster and Limerick will come out all guns blazing again and by July theyll be back to their best. Waterford will be the closest to them but not quite there yet.

A tough one to call at this stage.

I think Munster will be fiercely competitive this year, with Limerick and Waterford to go through joined by one other.

Leinster is basically any 3 from 4 (Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny & Wexford). Dublin need to up there game to the next level, which they well are capable of doing. Wexford need to put that Waterford game behind them and move on. I'm a bit concerned about Galway's lack of goals in the league. Kilkenny will be better with the rest of the Ballyhale players back on the panel, and should be good enough to get out of Leinster.

CC, I think things might fall out as you state. although I would be careful of Tipp. League Champions have played below par first day out and if Tipp did get one over on Waterford you just never. The Decies would then have to play both Limerick and Clare away and they are never easy assignments. Conversely if Cork get one over on Limerick the first day you never know. However the fact that is their only home game will not make it any easier for them

I think one of the big two (past) will miss out. Clare are dark horses. Maybe not so dark. In Leinster I would go with Kilkenny and Galway. Dublin will be spoilers but Wexford are going forward.

Tiobraid do you think the extremely condensed championship over the last 2 seasons made it difficult for Sheedy to experiment with the team. In hindsight last year alright you would have wondered what a proposition they would be if they chanced some of the younger lads to start and bring on a few of the established players later on. That's hindsight though, no one was saying that at half time in the munster final when they asked serious questions of limerick.

I can see the argument though with him probably being a bit too loyal. Cork have much more development done since those under 20 battles but Liam Sheedy was dealing with a different group of players some of which had won 3 all irelands.

Tipp not obtaining Cahill was a big blow as would have known those underage lads straight away. Bonner needs time

Seems like that's the way it's going to be going forward bar the all irelands tickets will be online only from this year so I've been told anyway.

God bless your eyesight Wexico. It should of course read, CLARE 2-21 VS. TIPP 1-20…CLARE WIN!

i was disappointed in 2019 he didnt try to introduce players. The All Ireland vindicated all his calls but its amazing that in 2021 he was still sticking to his tried and trusted. Equally as frustrating was that he made no real effort to address our issues of finding a regular number 3 & 4 and selecting so many from the North division in the panel. Also chopping and changing at centre back when Ronan Maher should be there since 2016.
Sheedy introduced young players in the past - albeit they were all players he managed at minor. Mark Kehoe for example should be a seasoned inter county player at this stage. The like of Ger Browne, Colin English, Craig Morgan and Cian Darcy should have been developed better and quicker. Robert Byrne got the most chances and he wasnt the underage player the others were but was lucky enough with the club he was from. He has got many chances which has stood to him it seems this year - the others are lagging.
Tipp were excellent in first half against Limerick but ran out of steam and fitness seems to be a major issue the last couple of years. Bonnar does need time but I think its critical we get out of Munster this year for the development of the team but the other counties are in the same boat.

Limerick will be fine. Even if Waterford catch them in Munster they wont lose any of the other games.

Nothing against Tipp or Cork and admire their hurling but they have enough until the next century. Cork has 259 clubs and Waterford has 50 We will only come around about every 30 years and often someone else is peaking also at that time. Take out that great Kilkenny team and we would have a few probably. if we are lucky enough to get to a final again and had to face them they would give me fits. Clare and Limerick some what the same but they have had more success than us.

Waterford could potentially play Limerick 3 times in this years championship, can Limerick beat them 3 times? Can Waterford beat Limerick once, the day it accounts?
