Tipp must be like ravenous wolves

And now the end is near, and so we face the final curtain...

It finishes tomorrow. The latest, most frenetic phase of the long war waged between blue and gold and black and amber and the greatest, most thunderous modern rivalry in Gaelic games. Less engaging than Cork/Waterford a few years ago, but more elemental. Less bitter than Kerry and the northern counties, but no less passionate or meaningful.

We’ve seen Kilkenny and Tipperary lock horns time and again these past four seasons — and lo, it was good. It was very, very good.
