Hmm. Will they line out like that you reckon Harry? Curran corner back??
More likely to be Cahill, Curran, O’Brien/Bergin & P Maher, O’Mahony, O’Brien/Bergin.
Starting young Bergin is a massive call by O’Shea, tbh i didn’t know he was going that well. He has a good history @ underage but this is a serious step up. Fair play to o’Shea, he is showing the players that good form in training will be rewarded.
Tipperary have a good record in Nowlan Park and that should continue on Sunday. I particularly remember a stunning win they had under Michael Doyle in 2003 when Ger O’Grady singlehandedly destroyed the entire Kilkenny defence. It was obvious right then that Doyle was the managerial messiah Tipp had been waiting for and O’Grady would go on to become one of the game’s greats.
He’s a nephew of former Tipp hurler and selector Jack Bergin. First cousin to Joe Bergin.
He won a Munster Minor around 2004 think ( same year as Shane Long). Was away in the states for about 5 years.
