Galway V Limerick & Waterford V KK

(Oldest Posts First)

Great matches ahead. I'm picking Galway in an upset win over Limerick by a point. Waterford by 2 points over KK. The All Ireland should be great no matter who gets through.

I think third game in a row will be a big ask for Waterford. Tadgh was good today but did not cover the same ground as last week, with such energy given. Jamie was good but truly Hutchison was man of the match. A part from his scores the pin point accuracy of his passes were unreal.

For me it is a repeat of the Munster Final. Both semi Finals should be crackers.

No matter who wins there's great story lines as in Limerick getting another crack at Kilkenny after last years upset, Waterford and Galway a repeat of 2017s Final, Galway v Kilkenny needs no introduction, etc.

Don't think Galway beating Limerick would be too much of an upset win. No underdogs in this one. 2017 v 2018 all Ireland champions..
Hard to call but Im hoping we'll have a bit more freshness which will count esp in the last 15 minutes. Limerick by 3.

Agree that Waterford have been really good so far. gave us a serious game.. They have every chance of beating Kilkenny.. I'm going to go for them by 2 also.

Fantastic to have hurling considering everything going on.

Limerick v Galway is 50/50. I'll take Limerick yo get there by 2 points with the subs making the difference. I see Kilkenny beating Waterford by 6 to 8 points unfortunately. Waterford are just too open at the back. There's 3 or 4 goals there for Kilkenny.

Tipperary very hard done by today by the ref. They won't be happy at all.

Tipperary got plenty of handy frees and the ref ride Cork last week. Swings and roundabouts. I couldn't fault tge ref today. Barrett has been a liability all season.

Have to agree with this. Galway and Tipperary were both ooutstanding.It could have gone either way. There was nothing in it. Ref had an influence on the game. Some days it goes your way. Galway and Limerick will be a cracker. Nothing between Tipp,Galway and Limerick.

You reckon they'll beat Galway by at least 7 points?

Fancy limerick by 4-5 pts and kilkenny 2-3, the 3 or 4 weeks on the bounce factor has been telling so often sense 2018.

Thought the referee did well myself, if Callinan's "push" from Daithi Burke is a free we need to stop playing the game.

But you have to admit Limerick are the favorites to win it all not just against Galway. Tipp were probably Limericks biggest threat and now they're gone.

No Tipp were definitely not our biggest threat. We have be3aten them by at least six points in three of our last four championship meetings and five times in the last eight seasons years.

I meant as Tipp are the defending champions they'd be the biggest threat. But you're right in that Limerick have had the upper hand in recent times.
