Former Déise boss Derek McGrath says that Waterford and Tipperary won't be holding back in Sunday's NHL clash at Walsh Park.
The teams will meet again in the Munster championship on April 17 but McGrath thinks that both sides will be hungry for victory.
"All out I'd imagine. I don't think there's room for shadow boxing. I don't think it's in Liam Cahill's approach. Even last year, if you look at the pummelling Waterford gave Tipperary in Walsh Park, they were still able to inflict a beating in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Waterford were in control for large parts of that game in the championship. I don't think there will be a psychological edge from winning or losing, I think Waterford will go all out."
