Declan Browne wants tests against best for Tipperary

There’s no sugar-coating from Declan Browne: today’s third round qualifier is the most important fixture concerning Tipperary football in a very long time.

Given his standing as the greatest footballer to ever wear the blue and gold, few are as well placed to make such a weighted assertion.

The 2002 Munster final aside, Browne reckons this afternoon’s visit of Tyrone represents Tipperary’s most crucial 70 minutes of football in the past 20-years.
