EXPERT VIEW: Eddie Brennan, All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny

I think the final will be won on two different areas: first of all, if one team can get a goal or two and number two, discipline, keep the frees down.

Both free-takers, Colin Ryan and Patrick Horgan, have been unbelievable and if you have one who has around a 90% conversion rate, you’re in business.

You look at the teams who have been beaten in the championship this year, free-taking has let them down, without a doubt, and contributed to them losing games. In contrast, it has been a strength for both Cork and Clare.
