McIntyre: Tipperary ‘in a hole’

Former Tipperary player and ex-Galway manager John McIntyre believes his native county is “in a hole” ahead of Sunday’s pivotal Allianz Hurling League Division 1A clash with Dublin.

Tipperary are reliant on a combination of results to secure a place in the quarter-finals and steer clear of a relegation play-off.

But McIntyre believes Eamon O’Shea’s players are suffering a crisis of confidence and warned that the current rot will be hard to stop.
