The Munster Championship always delivers high quality contests.
It may be the oldest cliché in the book, but it is still true, the Munster Championship is the most entertaining competition in the GAA.
It kicked off two week's ago in epic fashion when Clare v Cork and Tipp v Limerick both ended in draws after 60 pulsating minutes.
The Rebels picked up their first win last weekend against Tipp, while Waterford were victorious when they faced off against last year's All-Ireland Champions Clare.
So the pressure is on Limerick tonight as they go hunting for their first win of the provincial season.
