Veteran David Collins doesn't sugarcoat Galway's situation

Veteran David Collins has laid it on the line for the Galway hurlers, insisting it’s an All-Ireland title or bust and acknowledging that the player heave against ex-boss Anthony Cunningham has heaped the pressure on them.

Last year’s captain Collins refused to sugarcoat the situation after a difficult Allianz League campaign that yielded relegation to Division 1B and demanded his team-mates bounce back in style this summer.

The 32-year said that he’s viewing the Championship in terms of having ‘five games to win an All-Ireland’ and maintained that if the Tribesmen hit their stride then “I don’t think there’ll be too many teams that will live with us”.
