TIPPERARY v CORK

Semple Stadium, 4pm (RTÉ2) Ref: S Stack (Dublin) It’s more than the mathematical possibility of qualification that will keep Tipperary honest for this one. Colm Bonnar won’t want a whitewash beside his name as manager, not after showing such pride against Limerick and a far better defensive shape. Cork, though, found a much more effective balance between short ball and long against Waterford and have key players like Mark Coleman, Darragh Fitzgibbon and Seamus Harnedy back in top form. VERDICT: Cork
