Seamus Callanan fears sweeper system damaging hurling

Hurling superstar Seamus Callanan has revealed his belief that Tipperary will never deploy a sweeper and says he wouldn’t approve of the change if they did.

The back-to-back hurler of the year nominee was handed the difficult task of breaking down Cork’s buttressed defence in Sunday’s Munster championship tie.

William Egan operated as Cork’s extra defender and Callanan at times battled two defenders, though finished up with an eight-point haul and had a strong game overall.
