Why Galway need to think outside the box

FINAL DEBATE: Should the Leinster champions forget about tactics and go 15 on 15?

Why Galway need to think outside the box

Should Galway forget about tactics this Sunday and just take Kilkenny on man-to-man, 15 on 15? Judging from most people I’ve talked to in the last few weeks who have an opinion on this, the answer is yes. Just front up, no fancy stuff, take them on front-on full-on.

I wonder though. Go through this Kilkenny team and find the weakness? Go through that attack especially. Colin Fennelly, Richie Power and Aidan Fogarty started in the half-forward line in the semi-final blitz of Tipperary. TJ Reid, Eoin Larkin and Henry started inside. You want to go man-to-man on those? And remember, Richie Hogan is waiting in the wings, might even start.
