Anthony Nash ‘rocket’ for Rebel bashers

Cork captain Anthony Nash has launched a thinly-veiled attack against Dónal Óg Cusack and other former team-mates who criticised them in the wake of their All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Tipperary last year.

On The Sunday Game, Cusack described the 10-point loss as the result of boys facing men before claiming there were “serious structural problems” in Cork hurling, and highlighting the lack of under-age success.

As well as Cusack, John Gardiner was another who questioned Cork’s tactics and stated they lost the physical battle that day.
