Does the weather matter on Sunday?

Will the rain make a difference Sunday? That was the first question posed by the audience at the recording of Dalo's Hurling Show in Sarsfields on Wednesday evening.

The narrative appears to be forming that a rainy day might suit Tipp better. That conditions might slow down the match, and negate Cork's perceived pace advantage. And perhaps disrupt the slick exchanges of the Cork forwards that have delivered goals so far in this championship.
