Cathal Mullaney is joined by the dynamic Clare duo of Marty Morrissey and Anthony Daly to preview the weekend's Allianz Hurling League action.

In arguably the most tantalising round of fixtures thus far, much may be decided in the top two divisions.

Dalo describes Waterford as 'abysmal' in their heavy defeats to Cork and Galway but gives them some hope against a Tipp side who were fairly abysmal themselves in defeat to Limerick (02:00).

Galway and Kilkenny (09:30) both need a win to fend off relegation threat. Galway are building strength and depth again thanks to their underage production line, but the same can't be said of Kilkenny, where the well has run dry to an extent.

The biggest game of the weekend prove to be the most underwhelming, with real fears that Cork and Limerick (16:00) may engage in a bit of shadowboxing, with the potential for three or even four more meetings in the coming months.

Finally to matters in Division 1B (27:00), where Banner hero Dalo fully expects already-promoted Clare to go full bore against Wexford and all but condemn the improving Model County to another year in the second tier.

Meanwhile the balance of power may be about to tip in the Carlow-Kildare rivalry.
