Are Waterford worth a punt at 7/2 for Saturday's Hurling Replay?

Paddy Power has Kilkenny @ 2/7 and Waterford @ 7/2.

The match is fixed for Saturday in Thurles. Waterford have a young lionlike team who certainly can keep going for 60 of the 70 minutes. Kilkenny are dogged, experienced and gifted with experienced hurling stars.

I reckon Waterford are on the way up and Kilkenny are on the way down. The questions are how far up are Waterford and how far down are Kilkenny.

I think I'll risk a humble tenner on Waterford.
 
Thought we had it won on Sunday , it would have been great to stop the almost yearly ritual of Kilkenny folk crossing the bridge in Septemper in the county colours to socialise in our pubs

Still as we always remind them their slavish devotion to one sport leaves them way behind the Deise on the World sporting stage - we have produced a double World Champion & Olympic medallist , a plethora of international footballers including two who have played in European finals & of course a World class cyclist .

Oh & yes I will be having a bet !
 
I'm reminded of Gift Grub on Monday when they were interviewing "Brian Cody" and he was saying how savage Waterford were and how they gave them a savage game and were outstanding. Then he's asked how the replay will go and his response, Kilkenny by 30 points

KK are beatable , Cork showed that in 2013 in Thurles and it was interesting that they only made 2 subs on Sunday making me wonder about their strength on the bench and their faith in their bench. I think Waterford will need goals though
 
If Waterford lose on Saturday I'll be down a tenner. If I were a bond-holder and lost I'd at least get my tenner back. Bad value there from Paddy Power. Anyway, here's hoping Brian Cody is in charitable mood . . .
