Anthony Daly: You just sense Limerick are ready for whatever Tipp bring

Tipperary were the best team in the country in 2019, but, human nature being as it is, there are more teams than just Limerick which place an asterisk beside their All-Ireland win of two years ago.

I was fortunate enough to win two All-Irelands as a player. I know full well how hard it is to win that precious medal, especially as we won both of those finals by margins of two points and one point. There will always be close calls and lucky breaks along the way, but the best team always wins the All-Ireland.

Human nature will always muscle in on that theory, especially for teams which felt they should have won it.
