Even though we're not there it's still the munster final
If tipp are to win munster then they'll have had to beat Cork, clare and waterford and you couldn't say they didn't deserve it. Having said that they were poor in the second half of their previous championship games and could, but for some wayward shooting, have been beaten on both occasions.
Tipp tend to build up big leads and rely on this to get them through to the end of the game. Sheedy seems to make alot of changes during the game also. Not tactical or injuries just hauling fellas off who haven't had a touch for ten minute. Dodgy tactic.
Waterford are a litle easier to read. Stop mullane = stop waterford. He's a one man band at the moment and i think tipp will drop someone conor o'mahony back in front of him to cut out the space that he thrives on. Shanahan on the bench again, isn't the player he was and doesn't seem to have a great effect on the game when he comes on, probabaly his last chance of the bigtime.
Overall i'd say tipp will win and Cork could definitely account for waterford in the quarters if we met them.
Tipp 2/5 waterford 5/2 (tempting as part of an accumulator)
