Their defence is a no-bloody nonsense brick wall full of starving players.
UCD have a galaxy of stars in comparison. From Con O'Callaghan to Conor McCarthy, Their lineup is a who's who of inter-county stars, but the worry for them has to be whether all of these lads balancing county commitments can keep their appetites whetted. They had no problem on that front in Inniskeen when they finally tussled their way past UUJ after 80 minutes of attrition.
The match-up will be fascinating. The duels will be hard-hitting. Here's the best clashes.

He'll be tough to handle, but in former Galway under-21 and current senior player, NUIG's dogged number six Ruairí Greene will stick to him like glue.
It'll be interesting and defining to see if McCarthy can run loose or if Greene can keep him at bay.
He'll meet a hardy match at 3.30 on Saturday when Kilmacud Crokes' house-minder Cillian O'Shea stands on his heels.
O'Shea was a member of the Dublin panel last year that lifted Sam Maguire. He hasn't yet made a breakthrough onto the county team, but he's highly rated within the county. What greater motivation does he need to keep Comer quiet than Jim Gavin taking notice.
He's tigerish, tight and tidy. He'll need to be that and more.
He's very well able to take a score, too.
Last year's Galway minor captain Sean Mulkerrin will be his direct opponent. Mulkerrin won't match O'Carroll's physicality, but he may have the legs and he'll be up for the battle too.
