Former Dublin hurler Joey Boland believes they've slipped back to "between eight and six" in the national pecking order and need to uncover new forwards to rise up the ranks.

Boland lined out in All-Ireland semi-finals in 2011 and 2013 under Anthony Daly, winning a Leinster medal in 2013 as well as an All-Star nomination.
