He will. I've a feeling Moylan might make it in cornerback also. He's the likely cover for fullback if Huw Lawlor gets injured. Delaney got dropped and Corcoran dropped out. Molloy would be more likely than Mackessey in wingback I'd imagine also.

If I was to listen to all the Kilkenny, Galway and Wexford nen I'd know I'd be running down to the bookies betting on a Dublin, Antrim, Offaly 123.....

Replying To Viking66:  "Fitzharris and Mccarthy are good players too"
Very true but Sean Fitzharris comes from football stock and played minor football last year so I'd say he will go more so for the football. He has some engine on him though. If I remember rightly his grandfather managed us to the intermediate final in 92 when we did the double.

Countryman the mast is a puller of the community haha.

Onto tomorrow hoping for a big performance if we can't raise it for them lads we may forget about it. Hopefully a few more lads back I'm not expecting chin but hopefully reck obviously Rory Jack starts maybe Kevin foley too. Any word on Shane reck

They are in a bad spot alright, been in 2 of the last 3 AI finals and they should have beaten Clare out of sight in the first half last year! KK did hold on to some lads far too long but they cleared decks over the winter. Id never underestimate them.

Any word on why Jack isn't in the panel? Would've liked to have seen Molloy or Mike Kelly given a go ahead of McGuckin.

Delighted to see Clancy in the 26 as well.

It's pretty strong based on what we have. It will be tough but not beyond the realm of possibility to get a result. Please God we'll have a big crowd with something to shout about early.

Did you just reply to yourself whilst quoting another poster?

He's talking through his hole. Kilkenny will win Leinster at a canter again and will more than likely end up in an AI final. When have kilkenny ever been down for a long time?

Setting off for the fatherland now… wouldnt be very confident, the one thing that gives me hope about this fixture in the last 10 years is form nearly always seems to go out the window league or championship.

More senior players on that 15 named yesterday really need to up their game tonight and take the fight to Kilkenny.

Well Kilkenny are reigning leinster champions and got to an All Ireland Semi final last year while the other three teams were flapping about. So no I don't think it's possible that they won't be in the top 3 in leinster. Kilkenny will get through and the rest of them will scrap it out for the other two places.

Jacko is injured again I think. Charlie has been given more chances at this level than most, needs to start making his mark. Very good club player and a hugely committed lad but it's time to shine. Lawlor is the same really, big reputation from underage, injuries have halted his progress but the time is now for him too.

Wouldn't be surprised if Damien Reck started. We look very light and inexperienced across the pitch.
