Cork v Waterford, Limerick v Clare, Munster championship live updates
3.27pm Some pre-game listening? Anthony Daly, TJ Ryan, Mark Landers and Liam Sheedy
convene on Dalo's Hurling Show.
3.24pm John Fogarty is on Leeside and checks in from his perch in the stands:
It's a blustery one in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The wind is blowing hard and straight into the Blackrock End. The coin toss between Shane Barrett and Conor Prunty will carry extra significance. Waterford have made an 11th hour change to their squad, Conor Ryan replacing injured Iarlaith Daly and one of the named substitutes will be expected to start in place of the Lismore man. There have been a couple of rumblings that Alan Connolly isn't fit to start for Cork but that will become apparent in the next 30 minutes. Waterford supporters are scarce on the ground and the dropping of their captain Dessie Hutchinson, while justified, has probably dampened expectations. As expected, Cork folk are here in their droves, knowing a win and the prospect of doing themselves justice against Limerick in a first Munster final in seven years is quite the nugget.
3.20pm In the great tradition of 1980s professional wrestling, we have a blockbuster loser-leaves-town match topping the bill, from SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this afternoon.
Welcome to live coverage of that Cork v Waterford showdown on Leeside as well as Limerick v Clare at the Gaelic Grounds.
We have reporters and analysts at both grounds and beyond and will go puck by puck for the next few hours.
