It’s 14 months since Tipperary were crowned All-Ireland champions and they arrive into their first championship game since as underdogs. 

Limerick prevailed against the Premier in last year’s Munster final only to be caught out by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final. The Treaty looked impressive against Clare last weekend. One thing is for sure, both these sides will still be around come the business end. 

The wind is howling and the rain is pouring down as the players complete the final part of their warm-ups. This weather is a throwback to the 2014 All-Ireland semi-final between Limerick and Kilkenny that was played in monsoon conditions.
