Open Thread: Who is in pole position for the 2019 hurling All-Stars?

We’re down to the final two in the All-Ireland hurling championship race.

BARRING A DRAW there is just one game left in the 2019 All-Ireland senior hurling championship as Kilkenny take on Tipperary today in Croke Park.

The destination of the Liam MacCarthy Cup will be decided but it’s also going to be a game which will have a big bearing on the 2019 All-Stars awards.

The make up of the team always sparks debate but what players do you in pole position right now to land the awards?

Here’s what the All-Star fifteen that a selection of our writers would choose at the moment as the championship enters the final phase.

Let us know who’d make your side.
