Déise could crack if Cork can force the issue

Cork manager JimmyBarry Murphy needs a simple plan against Waterford.

Starting with the attack, Cork need to play as they did in the first quarter in the recent loss to Tipperary. The forwards, particularly the inside line, brought an intensity to the game far above that on show in the league. They closed down defenders quickly and forced them into conceding possession or to hurry their clearances.

The Rebels need this forceful play up front from beginning to end, continually in the faces of Waterford’s full-back line, forcing mistakes and the concession of frees.
