Huge clash in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Sunday in the Munster semi. Tipp are the league champions but it’s all of 85 years since they won a championship game against Cork in Cork.

Tipp have been flying all year and everyone’s talking about them as potential champions but the heat of a Munster semi in Cork is a hell of a lot different than a league campaign. That being said Cork’s attack has a very inexperienced look with Canty, O’Sullivan and Cronin and a lot will depend on how they cope.

Paddy Power are currently quoting Cork as the 8-11 favourites with Tipp at 5-4 and the draw at 10-1.
I have to go along with that, expect Cork to win by 3 to 4 points.

The teams are:

Cork:
D Og Cusack;
S O’Neill, D O’Sullivan, B Murphy;
J Gardiner, R Curran, S Og O hAilpin;
J O’Connor, T Kenny;
B O’Connor, K Canty, T McCarthy;
P O’Sullivan, P Cronin, C Naughton

Tipperary:
Brendan Cummins;
Eamonn Buckley, Paul Curran, Conor O’Brien;
Eamon Corcoran, Conor O’Mahony, Shane Maher;
James Woodlock, Shane McGrath;
Seamus Butler, Seamus Callinan, Ryan O’Dwyer;
Eoin Kelly, Lar Corbett, Willie Ryan;
