Welcome along to our live coverage of this Munster SHC third round clash between Clare and Tipperary at Zimmer Biomet Cusack Park in Ennis.The stakes are incredibly high for both counties heading into round three - having both played two games already, they are joint bottom of the table in the province with one point each.All-Ireland champions Clare looked to have ignited with their second half comeback to earn a draw with Cork in their opening game but subsequently lost to Waterford.Tipperary, meanwhile, produced an opening draw against Limerick only to lose heavily to Cork last week when they lost young star Darragh McCarthy in the opening moments to a red card.McCarthy is suspended for this one while Clare are boosted by the return well ahead of schedule of top marksman Shane O'Donnell, with Tony Kelly starting.For the home side there's the knowledge that if they lose again their championship is almost certainly over.That would leave them with a very unwelcome first as no reigning All-Ireland winning team has failed to get out of the Munster or Leinster group under the round robin system.Since 1989, only twice have the champions exited at the earliest juncture - Clare in 1996 in the knockout era and in 2014 in the qualifier era.
