Former Tipperary defender Conor O’Donovan has criticised hurling pundits for not being honest about the level of thrown hand-passes in the game.

A long-time advocate of addressing illegal handpasses, the two-time All-Ireland winner has a motion going forward to Congress next year to prohibit handpassing the ball or palming it from the same hand that is holding the ball.
