Kilkenny manager Brian Cody will name his team tonight for Sunday's All Ireland final against Tipperary in Croke Park.
Colin Fennelly remains a doubt for Kilkenny with a hamstring injury, while corner back Michael Cahill is expected to be fit to start for Tipp despite going over on his ankle in training.
Dublin defender Niall Corcoran came up against both Kilkenny and Tipp in the Championship this season and said Fennelly's inclusion might just seal the deal for the Cats.
"He's a very hungry player with real pace. He's a real goal threat for Kilkenny. If he plays, I'd give them a real chance," he said, but added that all the Kilkenny players were capable of stepping up and winning the game for the Cats.
