Waterford looked like a rugby team there and they played like one. Cork looked like they could have played for another 70 minutes with 14 men.
Serious questions have to be asked of the Waterford fitness team, not just of their tactics. Itâs no coincidence that their paciest player, Barron, was the only one to thrive.
That was some shoulder by Bill Cooper.
Gym monkeys.
Who was marking Horgan for the majority of that? Fives, Connors and Coughlan all seemed to be on his at different stages.
Even the way the Cork players ran was more elegant. They were absolutely skipping along the top of the ground. It was like 15 Tom Kennys. Waterford players invariably looked like they were trying to run through quicksand.
I think it was Julio posted earlier about the Cork handpassing - jez a lot of them have the smell of a throw about them
anyways that aside, cork play lovely hurling
is the munster final in thurles or limerick?
Derek McGrath can come off his sabbatical
Go back to work Derek, you thundering disgrace you.
Cork will walk the AI, no way anyone can live with that level of intensity.
Just a terrible day for Waterford. Very poor. Constipated hurling. They did well to stay in the game as long as they did. Never seen Moran as poor.
McGrath has done a good job overall but theyâve consistently been beaten in nearly all the big games under him. Really blew it the first day against Kilkenny last year when they were much the better side.
Still wouldnât want to face them in the qualifiers though, they surely wonât be as bad again this year. You just wonât win the AI with just one or two forwards and everyone else 60 yards further out. Theyâve a lot of good players though, a lot more than youâd think after that display.
Would be just like Cork to come from nowhere and win the AI. Wide open this year.
Needless to say the qualifiers are going to be a minefield now.
What a muppet.
Thatâs the way of the handpass now, you rarely notice when one of your own does it though, I spotted a fair few from Waterford today.
Iâll puck the racist head off you. You want some? Eh?
Tullamore? Around 8.30? I might be a bit late
Enjoy the back door
corks 1st touch was excellent today. didnât expect that but Waterford were poor
Strangely enough I felt that was the one area they needed to work on after today, the movement is so good that if they got the touch right theyâd be awesome,
