Going to bump this as its not acceptable to see an inactive thread midweek before a Leinster final of all days...
I see talk of Rice over on the KK thread, have to say I thought he retired/dropped off their panel and had to investigate to find out while he's nearly 32 now he just returned from a long term injury.
He would be a massive asset to a squad I personally feel is coming back to the pack.
It looks unlikely we'd see him this year though unless we see a repeat pairing from 2012 but even still with his age and the absence we might not have to worry about them reacquiring an ace.
While the bookies seem to have this priced like most of our games over the years I think we're in a far stronger position than 2014 with an all star calibre addition in P.Mannion and second year improvements to Flynn, Mannion, D.Burke along with Glynn and J.Cooney who are also establishing themselves more.
Oh their side, they lost only one starter but they've lost a full bench of experience which needs to be called upon during games and when injuries occur... Like most others I cant say I knew most of their subs from last week and it's a pivotal change that these lads will he coming on instead of multiple all stars.
The key to stopping them will be Hogan and Reid, Larkin and Power can do damage but TJ and Hogan are the sparks in the forwards.
I think this is the first KK team in a while where you could say "would he make the Galway team?" Or vice versa and there would be more than Canning on that list.
The also have issues again with free taking, Hogan switched off again last time out, that's bothering them for years.
I'll hold praise of the Wexford performance (in terms of it being business as usual for KK regardless of the personal) for the fact Limerick did the same thing to Wexford last year so they had prior and some of their play was beyond amateurish.
Game could go anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if we gave them a bit of a beating we're creating lots of goal chances and Canning or Glynn could go to town at FF.
I think it'll simply come down to who scores more goals and we're a bit shaky there.
I think either way as long as we go close we can hold hope for a decent 1/4 for the first time in 10 years.0 -

We seem to only beat the cats when nobody sees it coming, at least I never do
If that's the case this time we are getting well beaten next Sunday.
Hopefully history will get thrown out this time and Galway preform like we know they can and win it.0 -

Kilkenny will more than likely hammer us on Sunday anyway.
I have some turf ready for grogeens anyway so I might as well stay out of contact for the day and try and judge Michael Lester's face at the start of the Sunday game
I will record the match for the sake of it anyway.0 -

Think that's a bit optimistic. Maybe Mannion on current form, but who else???0 -
