Brendan Maher: Tipperary believe in simplistic hurling

Tipperary captain Brendan Maher wants Tipperary to remain as traditional as possible in the midst of the tactical changes sweeping through hurling.

Michael Ryan’s men may feel compelled into re-jigging things as the championship unfolds but Maher admits that a move towards a more defensive system would be done reluctantly.

“For ourselves we’re trying to keep the traditional approach,” says Maher.
