Decent win against a pretty mediocre KK team.
Positives are Healy/Mullins are new options, either off the bench or starting. O’Brien is also showing well.
Negative is the constant goal chances we give up, although we had a few ourselves. I guess it was a very open game.

It’s not really. It’s building a squad and keeping lads hungry. Excellent management.

Did Healy pick up a knock last weekend or anything seems odd not even in match day squad
Couldn’t trust Clare to not have him out for the year if was allowed onto the pitch.

Lads should be started in their actual positions. Playing young fellows out of position isn’t going to tell us anything.
It is, you have to experiment and see can lads adapt and play different positions. How do lads respond to this, tells you a lot about their mentality. Players need to be flexible with regards to positions.

There is flexible - like in Twomey’s case - and insanity - like in Roche’s case. If this is his one chance to stake a place on the championship 26 - nevermind the starting 15 - then it’s a load of bollocks.
Jack Leahy should be on the panel really

What’s his story ? Did he do something to piss off pat ryan ?
How close to the end of the league do you start rolling out your championship frame though?
Cork know their first 15, they have no interest in league.

Is it not best to give it a run out?
No point, the munster championship is attritional, they have nothing to gain. This team is 3 years in the making. They know exactly where they are at

I think they’ll win this year. I think they deserve it after last year, but Limerick are still a very very good side.

Clare will win handy tomorrow. Cork won’t be trying.
