Important to clarify from the outset that Daniel O’Mahony offered the following thoughts before, and not after, the balls were swooshed, drawn, and paired on Monday morning.

Such is the quality of O’Mahony’s character, though, and such is his forthrightness, that had we played the interview back to him following Cork’s preliminary quarter-final pairing with the Dubs, we doubt there’s a single sentence the Cork full-back would have altered.
