Wexford are certainties v Limerick IMO,Wexford have been very much under rated all year and by the so called pundits.
If the Cork backs can hold the Down forwards which i blieve they will i think the Cork Full forward line will take the Down full back line to the cleaners providing they get enough ball which i think they will.
Eoin Cadogan returns to the Cork backline he will help shore things up there
Kildare v Derry believe it or not i wouldnt put it past Derry winning this game.
However due to the 6 day turnaround and the loss in an Ulster final,the loss of Eoin Bradley and his brother earlier in year Paddy,should swing it in favour of Kildare.
There was nothin in the Ulster final up until the penalty,i wouldnt underestimate John Brennan and his powers of motivation,by all accounts the players would die for this guy and his record speaks for itself.
Kildare struggled against a poor Meath side in a game that was physically very demanding and bar the late scoring burst there was nothing in it.
Armagh have really disappointed me after there excellent performance v Down,Derry made bits of them,Wicklow should have beaten them in the drawn game and bar Jamie Clarke who is a bloody joy to watch and Aaron Kernan they are very average.
On the flipside all is not well in the Tyrone camp,Eoin Mulligan has pulled out of squad due to lack of competitive action,Stephen O'Neill is injured.
However they have an embarrasement of young talent at there disposal,mix that with the all the experienced warriors they have and i think this will see them through just.
Talks of the experienced Tyrone players being past is rubbish IMO they are only in there late 20's early 30's.
Anyways thats my tuppeny worth on how they might go
