Pay Ryan and Seamus Flanagan on previewing the game now. Gillane is the best player of the last eight or nine years says Ryan. They also talk about how important Fitzgibbon is to Cork, motm three times recently against limerick.
You canât tell me Limerick adding Gillane and Cork losing Fitzgibbon doesnât massively tip the scales here.
Man of the match awards are really flawed when daly and sheedy two well known gamblers are doin the selecting tis fairly obvious no matter the match they clearly back both favs from either county and the winning county gets the nod
Should he keep the free count even or blow for fouls?
This Cork team are definitely more disciplined compared to last year. Limerick have been quite loose with the big long hurleys they all use apart from the inside forwards.
Cork are simply better than Limerick and have been for some time so ought to be winning this on Astro Turf Pairc Ui Chaoimh, with or without Darragh Fitzgibbon.
The question is, do they really want to?
The path to the All Ireland Final for the Munster Runners Up is objectively easier than being sitting ducks facing Clare in a Semi Final after a 4 week break.
