Tipperary will lose aerial battle, says Nicky English

Former All-Ireland winning manager Nicky English believes Tipperary should accept that they’re going to concede aerial possession to Galway’s powerful forwards and must simply concentrate on what to do next.

The legendary Tipp figure said it’s virtually certain that Galway forwards like Jonathan Glynn, Cyril Donnellan and Joe Canning are going to beat their men in aerial contests during Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

Glynn in particular proved troublesome for Cork’s defenders in the quarter-final and English believes it’s certain that he will consistently win primary possession again.
