"Tom Devine, he's the one full forward who has caused the likes of Daithí Burke problems. He just runs at the heart of defences, straight down the middle. He did it to Tipperary the last day and he did it to Galway last year." "I thought he was excellent the last day. He scored goals, points, he laid off points for scores. He was a real target man, a real presence up there. "The Waterford management will say to their players, 'hit the all route one into Devine,'" assured the Portumna club man.Limerick are lucky then they've a mammoth of their own to take on Waterford's gargantuan gorilla, with Cheddar Plunkett outlining the credentials of their combative full back Michael Casey.
"Mike Casey will be hurling full back for Limerick next Sunday. He goes for everything, he's a very physical player and that'll be a really interesting confrontation. He's an established full back, he's physical, he's no nonsense and that'll be some physical confrontation."It's set to be some battle, and the Na Piarsaigh club man will certainly have his hands full trying to curb the influence of the Déise's bronco. Devine, of Ireland's Fittest Family fame is one of the leanest, strongest men in hurling, according to Damien Hayes.
"He'll win it, if he doesn't there will be a break off it and they'll live off the breaks."
"He's an athlete. He's a big man, but he's a big man of all muscle and power, there's no body fat and he deserves a lot of praise now. He can cause Limerick huge problems in the full back line," he concluded.
There will be thrills and spills aplenty in the Gaelic Grounds.
You can listen to Damien waxing lyrical about Tom Devine and much more from Thursday's GAA Hour Show.
