Joe Canning: Tipperary look stuck in a rut and they must improve greatly on their dismal display in Limerick if they are to overcome Waterford and ignite their season

Cork hurlers must shake off their brittle tag if they are to defeat Clare and reignite their Munster championship hopes

Champions’ conversion rate was incredible on a day when Kilkenny, just like Galway in the semi-final, were eventually overwhelmed

All-Ireland hurling final preview: The men who stand on the cusp of history as they bid to complete a four-in-a-row

Limerick’s win in this year’s League final will have no bearing on Sunday’s All-Ireland final

Limerick show the value of upholding a clear identity

If Galway approach the semi-final the same way they did against Tipp they have very little chance

‘Managing your mental energy and your physical energy during a tough, intensive campaign is a serious challenge’

Tipperary have already made significant progress under Liam Cahill but the Tribesmen’s defeat in the Leinster final means they need a big scalp

Final five seconds in Croke Park changes the whole narrative for the Tribesmen while Clare’s poor finishing cost them a coveted Munster title

Key calls went the champions’ way against Cork but, in top-level sports, teams bend rules and test referees

Relegation would be a disaster for Wexford and further weaken an already lopsided championship dominated by Kilkenny and Galway

I expect John Kiely’s side to beat Tipp, but it is less easy to explain how so many false rumours about teams find their way to social media

It will be interesting to see how the manager uses Austin Gleeson when Waterford go to Thurles in search of the victory they need to reach the All-Ireland series
