Treaty must blitz main battlegrounds
The Premier’s total ascendancy in the final 15 minutes against Limerick last year was down to their supremacy across their half back line. Limerick will have to make this area the main battleground tomorrow directly opposing Tipperary’s main source of attack. David Breen is tall, physically strong and quick. If he chips in with a few scores it will be a bonus but his primary role should be to negate the strengths of Pádraic Maher.
Maher is strong under puck outs, as is Breen and coming onto possession the Tipp wing back likes to drive upfield. Breen and his half line colleagues need to bring a controlled disciplined fury to their play denying Maher, Conor O’Mahony and Kieran Bergin possession from puck outs. Succeeding in this provides a significant psychological advantage.
