Munster final day in a sold out Thurles, can’t beat it. Wonderful occasion.

Great day once again in Thurles. This team owe us nothing at all.

Limerick a team outside of the traditional big 2 winning 4 titles in a row. And Clare the least successful team bar Kerry are the ones pushing them all the way. Cannot wait for the business end to start now. Would love a Clare v Kilkenny semi final but I'd take a Galway or Wexford pairing either. Limerick the team to beat but anything can happen.

The semi finals are Galway/Cork or Antrim v Limerick  and either Clare/Wexford or Kerry v Kilkenny

The semi finals are Galway/Cork or Antrim v Limerick  and either Clare/Wexford or Kerry v Kilkenny  Hard to see past Limerick reaching the final. I actually think a heavily underdog cork would have the best shot but I think Galway will beat cork.  Clare Vs Wexford is an interesting pairing assuming they beat Kerry. But I hope Clare set up a semi Vs Kilkenny. Need to see more of Tony Kelly and I reckon the banner have the best shot at derailing the cats. It's been a while since we've seen that pairing in a semi final or final or is my memory failing?

2004 for a semi-final which Kilkenny won after a replay and they also met in the 2002 All Ireland final best remembered for DJ leaving Ollie Baker on his backside for one of the great All Ireland final points. Wonder where the 1/4 finals will be played I’d like to see them back in Croke Park but it’s often Thurles or Limerick. I’d actually fancy Galway to beat Cork in Croke Park or Limerick but Galway don’t have a great record in Thurles.

[/QUOTE I'll be in Dublin for work those weekends so hopefully croker but they are usually thurles. They tried cork one year I think but it didn't work out too well.  Clare are fierce unlucky over the years. They've lost a lot of big games in Extra time or replays but at least they won the big one against cork.

Awh they had a good record under Loughnane in replays during the 90’s. You basically bullied Clare once you weren’t going doing it again was his way of thinking. 2010 i think the last time the 1/4 finals were in Croke Park. Not sure what to make of Wexford like in one way only for a weak referee who was influenced by the crowd for the overturning of the free V Galway they’d be out draw with Westmeath and then beat Kilkenny. They can be very hard to play against nobody will get anything easy from them and Lee Chin is back in form again which is a huge boost.

As a Corkman and seeing us play both this year, Limerick are far better than Galway. Hope I'm wrong but this should be a double digit win

Kilkenny surely favs based on current form and momentum. This will be some battle.

As I said, based on how those teams performed against us, Limerick are far ahead of Galway, Galway obviously stepped up a huge amount from their fortunate win against Cork in the QF
