Workrate, discipline key for Dubs

Dublin won’t be giving up their crown with a major fight

1 - Dublin are well aware of what it takes to beat Kilkenny. Get in their faces, cut down their time on the ball while conceding few frees — all of which is easier said than done of course.

Croke Park has a huge playing area and it may not be as easy to shut down Kilkenny’s half-backs and midfield as it was in Portlaoise last year.
