Poll: Who will win today's Munster hurling battle between Tipperary and Cork?

Throw-in at Semple Stadium is 4pm.

AND IT’S BACK!

The Munster senior hurling championship returns today with the 2016 edition starting off in a fitting fashion in Semple Stadium.

Reigning provincial champions Tipperary are in action against a Cork team that bowed out to Waterford at the Munster semi-final stage last summer.

It’s the first senior championship battle between the counties since the 2014 All-Ireland semi-final which resulted in an emphatic win for Tipperary.

Cork are coming off the back of a league campaign where they just avoided relegation with a last-gasp success against Galway.

Tipperary exited the league at the quarter-final stage against the eventual champions Clare.

But what do you think will be the outcome today? Let us know.


Poll Results:

Tipperary win (2430)

    You have to 100% believe you can and will win every match when you take to the field, regardless of the opposition.

    Not convinced by Carty!! Hasn’t been getting the basics right, very frustrating to watch. Really hope Connacht pull off a big upset tomorrow!!!

    I’m not sure, but unfortunately he wouldn’t be good enough to get into that Connacht team. He’s been very disappointing in terms of playing standard since arriving, but I have no doubt that is offset by all the things he offers off the field.

    I’ve plenty of doubt about his off field influence justifying his colossal wage bill.
