Derek Lyng says both his Kilkenny team and Tipperary will have to be diligent about their discipline in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

In the second half of the counties’s Division 1 meeting in March, Kilkenny lost three players and Tipperary one to red cards largely because of a crackdown on head-high fouls.
