Sylvester Hennessy: Superior work rate rewarded for impressive Tipperary

Eamon O’Shea and his backroom team had a well-thought out game-plan and to a large extent it worked against a Waterford team that are far from finished in this year’s championship.
Tipperary replicated their high-octane performance against Limerick in the semi-final and this was crucial. Waterford, just like Clare on Saturday evening, had more possession but Tipperary crucially had the greater work rate and scoring conversion ratios.
