Even without Colin Corkery, who has been ruled out of this match after his fine show against Glenflesk last week, the Munster champions should leap this obstacle without undue difficulty.

London's resources have been steadily diminishing in recent years and Tyrone's Jody Gormley, the banner name among the metropolitan side, is out of this match with injury. Nemo would probably prefer to take stock until the new year but the tie does offer a competitive run-out for the side, given that they could have come undone against Glenflesk. This opportunity to conduct a bit of fine-tuning will do harm.
