Zoning in on weaknesses

Opposing managers normally look at the opposition and zone in on perceived strengths and weaknesses. They formulate plans to counteract the strengths, but, above all, to exploit the weaknesses and the team is coached accordingly.

Tipp’s Declan Ryan may feel there is a question mark over Cork’s full-back. Brian Murphy is named there, but I won’t be surprised if Shane O’Neill also sees service on the edge of the square. Both are classy defenders who are more at home in the corners and lack experience of No 3 at this level.
