My Updated Rankings

1 Cork - 2 wins from 2, Have found form at a good time

2 Galway - 2 from 2, looking dangerous

3 Limerick - 1 game 1 loss, but still one of the top teams

4 Clare - Didnt play this week, next week will reveal more

5 Dublin - 3 points from 2 games, bigger tests on the way

6 Kilkenny - Found form after a disastrous first game, will be dangerous

7 Tipperary - Got their first point, still struggling to find form

8 Waterford - Good second half display gains them a point

9 Wexford - Look a little off the pace, struggling to qualify now

10 Offaly - Another good performance but only 1 point from 4
