6 changes for Cork which is good to see

Without having any knowledge of what's going on in the camp, I'd be astonished if that's the case. Cunningham was injured so missed the league. He's playing a few league matches now with the club to get back up to speed and I'd expect him to play a part with Cork this year if we progress out of Munster.

From what I've heard, its exactly like Sportsfan says. He is viewed as behind in the pecking order as he was out injured. I would have had him in the panel now but I think he will be added later. Of course I have heard the other rumours but I heard the above from more reliable people. Again though we cant be certain though.

any reasons why Coleman is on the bench??

play Tipp next Saturday for a place in the final

Im very worried about the back 6 tomorro and in particular the 2 Downeys tomorrow. Big men with plenty of hurling but they lack the legs for intercounty hurling. Wel hope for the best!

A huge performance is needed today, lose and we're staring down the barrel of yet another group stage exit. Pat Ryan has only won the one championship game as Cork manager as well.

It's not over as such if we lose but considering that we have Limerick up next a lot is on the line today.

I don't expect or demand victory but i demand a performance and for everyone to lay it on the line today.

today for Cork could be like 1999 all over again… back then Jimmy Barry Murphy gave was it 7 lads there debut against a strong seasoned waterford team in a Munster semi final… Cork won that game and the rest is history….

today could be the same… i think Cork might have underestimated waterford last Sunday when the deise had such a poor league campaign… they wont underestimate Clare… and Pairc Ui Chaoimh hasnt been a ground Clare have had much luck in… and then add to that Clare's meltdown last Sunday may still be occupying their minds… i fancy Cork.. the u20 successes will at some stage make their mark at senior level.. why not today??

Christ time for Horgan to go after today.
