Scrap the ugly tactics and let the game flow

I really envy these players from Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Scrap the ugly tactics and let the game flow

They’re going into the greatest stadium in the world to play the greatest game in the world. I hope they realise that, I hope they appreciate that, and play hurling as it was meant to be played, with freedom, with enjoyment.

I know guys are fitter now, faster, have spent all those months in the gym building themselves up. I’d prefer to see them use all that physical training in a positive way, when it comes to playing the game. I don’t like the way hurling has been edging towards the ugly way football has been played over the last few years. I know you have to have tactics in any game but hurling is still as it always was, has some very basic principles – those shouldn’t change.
