Tommy Dunne: Dan Morrissey at full-back a risky call for Limerick

Tipperary’s 2001 All-Ireland- winning captain Tommy Dunne believes it will be a major gamble if Limerick play Dan Morrissey at full-back in Sunday’s Munster SHC semi-final.

Speculation is mounting in Limerick that manager TJ Ryan is set to blood a host of full championship debutants against Tipp, possibly as many as seven.

Morrissey, from the Ahane club, is tipped to fill the pivotal position on the edge of the Limerick square ahead of Richie McCarthy, a move that would match him with Tipperary dangerman Seamus Callanan. Morrissey, 23, played at full-back for the Limerick U21 and intermediate teams in 2012 but won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal with University of Limerick at midfield last year. He made his championship debut as a sub in 2014 and was also used off the bench last year.
