AIL Final: Cork Con possess the better set-piece but Terenure perhaps boast the greater X-factor in intriguing final
AIL: Margins look wafer thin in intriguing final as Terenure seek to double upGerry Thornley: Fans in Croke Park next weekend will be there for the rugby, nothing else
Five weeks ago Terenure came from 14-0 down to win 26-23 in Temple Hill, but Con’s elegant playmaker, James Taylor, was missing that day and he makes their phased attack click. Winger Matthew Bowen has ten tries in his last six games and his duel with Phillips could be worth the admission money alone.
The forecast is not quite as favourable as for last week’s thrilling semi-finals but should facilitate their ambitious, running rugby. Both are unchanged save for Billy Crowley returning to the Con bench.
