Tullow will have had nearly a month off rugby by the time their clash with Naas comes about, their next league fixture not due until the weekend after on 28 February. Kilkenny, however, will be well warmed up with a trip to Suttonians this Saturday on the cars before hosting Ashbourne at Foulkstown on Valentine’s Day, both games rescheduled from cancellations earlier this season.
