‘We came out on right side of an arm-wrestle’

Tipperary will fancy their chances of turning over Cork for a second consecutive summer after watching the Rebels scrape past Waterford, according to Cork selector Eoin O’Neill.

No doubt but there were certain members of Liam Kearns’ management in attendance at Fraher Field and if they felt back-to-back championship wins over Cork was achiievable before this Munster quarter-final scare, then, according to O’Neill, “they’ll probably fancy it a bit more now”.

The Premier County are the visitors to Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday week and O’Neill is adamant the home outfit will need to improve “drastically” to reach a Munster final.
