O’Neill takes lessons on board
“There were positives, but at the same time we went out to win the game and we didn’t do that, so it’s disappointing.
“If you go back to the match itself, we left ourselves with a bit of work to do after half time but we came back well and drew level — it’s just a pity we didn’t kick on at that stage. We left ourselves with that bit too much to do and they had enough in the tank in the last 10 minutes to pull away. There’s an important lesson there for us, though — we all saw how Tipperary went last year when they regrouped after we beat them down the Páirc.
