But now we are thinking, right, they've had a four-week break, right?

They've three massive battles, three massive hurdles to jump.

And it's not beyond them, lads.

No, no, it's not beyond them.

They were here two years ago.

They beat Wedsford.

Semi-final then, they beat Kilkenny.

And then we all know what happened in the final against Cork.

So you couldn't ruin him out, but it will be very, very interesting, you know, when it comes to team selection, who he's going to go with.

And will he sprinkle in one or two of these 20s now?

Lots to say.

He might spring one or two of them.

You know, did any of them see action last weekend?

See, I was kind of...

Will Dublin elect to go with a sweeper?

I think starting off in this match, I think Dublin have got to keep it tight.

So, I mean...

they may go with a sweeper they may go with a plus one that would then allow if John Conlon was to sit if he was to start it would allow him to sit back in the box but that will play into the Dublin thinking as well because they'll be like if Conlon starts we don't want him sitting back there so maybe we don't give him the plus one if you were Dublin now and Conlon does start you'd probably say to yourself do we move Brian Hayes from midfield up to 11th

you mean you've seen the value of and hence why I'd say Limerick celebrated so much the last day out against Cork because they knew the reward of winning that most of the final was the four weeks and the four weeks seems to be the magic number in getting a team ready for preparation and

It's effectively a new championship now, lads.
