Does that mean we’ve to hope Waterford lose last two matches and we need to win two?

Not necessarily

If we lose to Limerick we have to hope Waterfordand Tipp beat Clare and we beat Tipp

Ourselves Clare and Tipp would then end up on 2 points each

Very helpful. So if Waterford lose 2 and we win 2 we go through as 3rd place team as Limerick would have 6, Clare 4 or 6 depending on Tipp match, Cork 4 and Tipp either 1 or 3 points. My brain is fried!!!

If we lose to Limerick then we need to hope Clare beat Tipp as well as Waterford lose to Limerick and Clare.

No, in that scenario we are out. If we lose to Limerick we can't catch Limerick or Waterford and Clare already have us on head to head, so we are out?

Fuck no that doesn’t work, Tipp would be on 3

Oh bollix

Fuck no that doesn’t work

Oh bollix

So what I’m hearing is regardless of what else happens we must win next week and hope Waterford win no more. That simple?

If we draw against Limerick your scenario would come into play with 3 teams on 3 points?

Not quite, if we win both our matches any result other than a draw in Waterford v Lim puts us through. If Waterford won we'd knock out Limerick on head to head. But that's a long, long, long way off!

If Cork get 4 points they will likely qualify. But it’s not 100%

Waterford beating Clare would be a disaster

I wouldn’t worry about it lads.

*spoiler* We're not going to bate Limerick

Cork are 50/1 for all Ireland
