Cork and Clare face a challenge that Limerick and Kilkenny earned the right to avoid
Joe Canning: We won’t see them, but certain matches this weekend will influence the All-Ireland semi-finals
After the Munster final Limerick took a week off. Kilkenny were on a training camp in Fota Island last weekend and were still there on Monday. Meanwhile, Cork and Clare were trying to stay in the championship. The questions would only take 30 seconds to answer but the key to the whole thing was honesty. Nobody feels great all the time and there is nothing to be gained from pretending otherwise. If your GPS numbers in training were down, Lukasz needed to understand why.
One thing that all four teams will have in common this weekend is an A-vs-B game. Under Brian Cody, Kilkenny put huge store by their in-house games and I’m sure that hasn’t changed under Derek Lyng. We don’t hear much about Limerick’s training sessions but one thing that has been repeated by players over the years is the intensity of their in-house games and the impact it has on team selection.
