Thirteen teams have ambitions to derail the current champions Tipperary but realistically only a handful have the talent to do so.

Two Kilkenny players have received suspensions after the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) reviewed last Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League final against Dublin, which left the Cats in an unusual position — licking their wounds.
