A few key aspects to yesterday's match

Shots cannot drop short into keepers hands. 99% of chances have to be taken against the cats
Speed of touch by the cats is very good. Other teams need to reach that and it comes from intensity in everything.
Experience is a massive factor for the cats. Been there done that.

Good year for Waterford. They now need to adopt their style more to go to the next level.

Second semi final on Sunday. Close match in prospect. Can Tipperary fowards outside of Bonnar Maher perform to their ability. Some people still have doubts over Galway back lines.
Tipperary have to win to confirm their status as 1 of the top 2 teams. Also 1 trophy for a team that has the ability to win Liam under O'Shea in his last year in charge is more motivation for them.
Would Like Galway to win however given what I said already Tipperary to win.

Well done galway, one point winners. Great game. Up the tribesmen, lets hope they can win it out now. Credit to both teams today.

Take Callanan out of it and it could have been a easy win for us.
I don,t think there is a hell of alot between Tipp , the Cats and Galway
The 3 top teams in Ireland

thats true willie, but its easier said than done to take callinan out of it. 3-9 was a remarkable score for one player.

There is a rumour going around that Galway were not too pushed about the Leinster Title , it means a lot more to Kilkenny.
And think what Anthony said at the end to Cody, see you in September, now I,m beginning to believe that to be true.
Look at all the hard battles they have had now and their young players as well
They are going to tear into the cats the next day

[peregine]

What a great game. It had everything. Penalties, hat-tricks, thrills, spills, edge of the seat stuff. No team deserved to lose but Galway are back in the final since 2012. Hope the final is as thrilling.

Well done Galway better team today and deserved to win, they looked hungrier than Tipp did, I think the 5 week lay off hurt Tipp their sharpness, first touch wasn't at the level needed today.

There is a flip side to this too, Callanan almost beat Galway hurling on his own today, he had no help at all, if any other Tipp fwd had performed would the result be different I wonder.

Don,t know and don,t care
Main thing is we are in the final now and I don,t think the cats will underestimate us now
Remember this is a better Tipp team this year than last year and remember the final !!!
