J Owens (Wexford), RTÉ This is effectivel­y a Munster semifinal with the winners through to the decider. Limerick have shown some good form and had 13 points to spare against Waterford last weekend. Clare buried Tipp last time out and will take massive confidence from a first win in Thurles in 90 years but Limerick might just edge this one. Odds: Clare 5/4, Limerick 5/6, Draw 9/1 Verdict: Limerick Waterford v Cork, Semple Stadium, 2.0, J Keenan (Wicklow) It’s been nothing short of a disastrous year for Waterford as they have nothing to play for here. They face a Cork side who need a win to force their way into the Munster final and after a rest week last weekend they should be ready to get the job done.

Odds: Waterford 5/1, Cork 1/6, Draw 14/1

Verdict: Cork
