Galway have the more potent mix

There’s something to be said for naming the same starting 15 week after week after week – in fact there’s a lot to be said for it.

It could be called consistency, complacency, loyalty (misplaced or otherwise) but whatever it’s called, it defies logic. What are the chances that from a training panel of two teams, week after week the same 15 — every player in every position — is consistently the better 15?

All of this is a roundabout way of saying that, contrary to much popular opinion, whether coming off a win or a loss, I agree totally with the way Jimmy Barry-Murphy and his selectors tweak the Cork team game to game.
