O'Sullivan to make most of second chance

Conor O'Sullivan has been ultra-consistent in the Cork rearguard this summer.

Although he has acted as an extra man in defence a couple of times, against Kilkenny and Dublin in the quarter-final and semi-final after Henry Shefflin and Ryan Dwyer were dismissed, his positional sense and his ability to play the sweeping role was a major contributory factor in Cork’s emergence against the two Leinster teams.
