Kick in the hole for Finn

He played his first game in a year, 3 or 4 weeks ago.

I’d be shocked if SOD isn’t starting

So would I, think there will be a change there before throw in.

Doesn't he suffer from concussion migraines? Quite possible he had a bad week with them.

They aren’t my favourite but Off The Ball did a great piece with SOD, scary the level of concussion had

Ya I get that but when a player as good as Finn is back, he’s back. Like Coleman. I think most people would have expected him to start.

Waterford have about 4 fellas that are returning straight to the starting 15 with no game… maybe a bit of desperation there

Is it true that the additional capacity in Cusack Park is "Sideline Seating", unreserved? The stewards will need to be on their game to manage that crowd.

All will be revealed as to whether or not Limerick are back in Terminator mode.

The losers of Clare v Limerick will struggle to make top 3 in Munster.

The losers of Clare v limerick last year won Munster and the ai ?

Exactly, they have no choice, either that or throw in the towel for wford. Limerick on the other hand have casey who is not far off an all star most years that he starts.

 

[Northcorkman]

Defo dummy teams. Lynch won’t be at 15. More like 11. Hayes up front and con will go 7. If sod tk Hayes are bench Clare are in trouble.

No remotely comparable sorry. Coleman is back in because we need him and need points from the halfback line and possibly need someone in a sweeper role which he excels at, no choice really. Limerick won an AI without Finn last year, big difference.

 

[Charley Sheen]

Imagine they will ease Finn back in. When you have the luxury of picking Casey and Morrissey you don’t need to take risks.

Huge game for Clare. This game will go to the wire
