It's back to the roulette wheel to see who will start full-back for Cork

Eoin Downey’s suspension means another spin is required ahead of the Rebel’s Munster championship opener against Waterford.

Eoin Downey’s haste in taking command of the number three shirt brought an end to Cork’s full-back roulette. His suspension means another spin of the wheel is required ahead of the county’s Munster championship opener.

One of the few certainties around the Cork team at present is young Downey’s place at full-back. It’s why the county contested the red card he received arising from a prolonged melee between Cork and Kilkenny players in the second-half of last month’s Division 1 semi-final.
