McDonnell expects 'eager' Armagh to deliver despite rotation

'These boys are going to come in with an eagerness and a hunger as well to impress before the All-Ireland quarter-final. So, if anything, it may play into our hands a wee bit.'

Armagh great Stevie McDonnell expects the All-Ireland champions to make a concerted effort to try and knock last year’s runners-up Galway out of the championship on Saturday.

A defeat for Pádraic Joyce’s side in Cavan’s Kingspan Breffni Park combined with what happens in Páirc Esler in Newry between Derry and Dublin could be enough to send the Connacht winners out of the competition.
