Rather than a kick in the hole it may well be a case of Finn not been up to speed yet,

That's a weak enough bench in my opinion.
If I was a Limerick fan I'd also have serious reservations about David Reidy starting let alone starting center forward.
In saying that the rest of the team is exceptionally strong as expected.

So would I, think there will be a change there before throw in. Wouldn't rule out T.Kelly and D.McInerney starting either

Kick in the hole for Finn

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

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
