Former Cork hurler Ben O’Connor has called for Ciarán Joyce to be selected at centre-back for Sunday's “knockout” Munster championship fixture against Clare.

There has been widespread commentary surrounding the Cork number six shirt in the wake of the county’s heavy defeats to Waterford in the League final and then Limerick in the opening round of the Munster championship, with O’Connor insisting that Joyce should take over the centre-back berth from the ball-playing Mark Coleman.
