Jason Forde, Tipperary, and Barry Coughlan, Waterford, in action at Semple Stadium.
Sunday March 25
Allianz Hurling League Quarter-Final
Dublin v Tipperary, Croke Park, 1pm
It has been a curious League campaign for Tipperary, who haven't been afraid to experiment.
The chief source of optimism is the enduring excellence of Jason Forde, who has flared to prominence in the UL and Tipperary jerseys.
Silvermines clubman Forde has been used in a variety of roles for Tipperary, but has made a real impact as a strike forward in 2018.
Following their opening day disaster against Offaly, Dublin improved considerably and 70 minutes spent in the company of Tipperary at GAA headquarters offers a stern test.
