Not a lot between the top 3
Watched tbe KK/Tipp match
Not a chance of an amazing between them for years
True
Today anyways
Has @Turenne revised his opinion on Corkās selection this week yet?
Did they play as listed positionally?
Great to see Twomey/Roche played in their actual positions. Roche was excellent, hitting some form out of nowhere. Deserves to start the next day against Galway. Also thought COB was very good.
Will be interesting to see what our championship team looks like. A COB/RD/Joyce half-back line looks likely at this stage but Iād worry about their lack of pace across the line.
Strong chance Connolly/Coleman/Harnedy will be on the bench. Possible one or both of ROF/Kingston donāt make the first 26.
Also think it is fair to say JOC has got enough chances. The potential is obvious but his ability to fluff even basic chances is astonishing.

I still think we are looking at a 15 very close to last yearās AIF. In fact, Iād still back the same 15 to start on April 20th. If any man is to come in, Iād wager it will be Twomey. He would have been starting for the full year last year if not for his injury v Tipp. He gets on an unreal amount of ball.
Healy, OāBrien and Mullins have put their hands up well. Millerick is in decent form. OāConnell to me is perfect for an impact role off the bench in midfield but they seem to insist on him at half-back.
Iād still be worried about our options up front after the first 6 and Healy. Power is a bit of a loss to our depth in the ff line. I would be shocked if both Kingston and ROF are not in the 26 tbh.
That game yesterday was a bit of a joke. A few Clare lads dusting off some cobwebs which will do them no harm. Duggan at 14 may be a very awkward problem for us in 6 weeks - if he does line up there. My guess is that Clare will rotate that position throughout the 70.

Iād say there is a decent chance Coleman and Connolly donāt start, particularly if they arenāt back soon.

Will hopefully see a good few changes for the Galway game. Would rest Not sure how injuries are going but need to have a look at the likes of Kingston, ROF, OāConnell, Joyce, Mullins and Healy on the first 15, for more game time. Would also like Cotter to get another start but itās unlikely. Brian Roche has to be nailed on to start again, along with Twomey. Would rest Barrett, Fitzgibbon, NOL, Rob Downey, Hayes, Horgan and TOM.
Collins
SOD ED E. Roche
COB CJ Mullins
ET TOC
Healy SK B.Roche
ROF Horgan Cotter
Coleman, Connolly and Harnedy off the bench if they are back near fitness.

I know there were some comparisons drawn after the collar-up look TOC was sporting against Clare but is Tommy OāConnell any relation to Mickey?
None
