If you've only got one more day to live, come see this game. It will seem like forever. Forty years after the summer of love, we have the summer of hurling - and no two teams have epitomised the spirit of it all more than Cork and Waterford.

It's a winning spirit that knows no end, so carefully note the above addendum - because there's every chance extra-time will apply.

Tomorrow marks the 10th championship meeting between the sides since 1999, and while they've always been close, never before have they looked so inseparable. Who cares now if match referee Brian Gavin was doing Waterford a favour last Sunday by awarding that late free to force the replay, because he was doing us all a favour by bringing the two teams back for more.

And neither team will be any less confident of winning. Cork may have pulled four points clear in the dying minutes, but Waterford will be cursing themselves to have allowed that. Both teams conceded three goals and will reckon that was three goals too many. Both teams will feel they can improve.

Only Waterford make some changes, with Brian Phelan returning to the left-corner back position in place of James Murray, a switch that was made at half-time the last day. Shane Walsh comes into midfield in a swap with Jack Kennedy, who moves down to the bench.

Cork will start with the same 15 as last Sunday, which means Niall McCarthy must be content with a place on the bench, despite his telling impact, as must Kevin Hartnett and Cathal Naughton.

Given what's at stake for both teams there can't be any let up in performance or anti-climax, except for the team that ultimately loses.

And given Waterford's greater stakes, they'll have to step up their performance, or else Cork will win.
