VIDEO: Championship Preview: A look forward to this year’s Hurling Championship

“I don’t think they’ll beat Cork in the Championship. Possibly an All-Ireland quarter final, maybe a semi if the draw is good to them. The spirit seems to be very good. The faster the ground, teams will play them at their own ground. Clare would have come up with this system they’re playing first day. The man beside me, Donal O’Grady, revolutionised the short passing game and not hitting it long, but in terms of their swarm around the middle and keeping fewer fellas up front, Clare maybe, with the Shane O’Donnell mode, started that.”
