Clare All Star Podge Collins says the prospect of a National league final is massive for the county, but they must be fully prepared for the challenge of Tipperary.
The All Ireland Champions are looking to book their first league final appearance since 2005 when they take on the premier county in tomorrows last four tie.
Collins has pointed towards Tipperary's quality up front as a major threat, in particular that of Drom and Inchs’ Seamie Callanan who has been in top form for Eamon O’Sheas side throughout the league campaign to this point.
Galway and Kilkenny get the National league Semi Final double header underway at the Gaelic Grounds from 2pm, with the clash of Munster rivals Clare and Tipp following at 4pm.
Davy Fitzgeralds charges will enter the game as slight favourites after a more consistent league campaign to this point, but Cratloes Podge Collins says anything can happen on match day with these teams and admits the banner will always fear Tipperary.
