Croke Park clash likely to decide who qualifies for the All-Ireland stages. On the big pitch, it could just about be Dublin
One thing they have in abundance is pace. In every line they have it and the ability to move quickly is key to their game.
The likes of Jason Forde and Jake Morris are very good hurlers and very good strikers. Gearóid O’Connor has come in and is well able to score. Alan Tynan has been chipping in from the middle of the field, as has Noel McGrath from around there. If they can win enough ball in the forwards – and this has been the way with them for a while – they will get goals.
They generally did well in Ennis at shutting Clare down but there were also periods, particularly just before half-time, when Ryan Taylor and Mark Rogers were making hay, targeting the middle of the Tipperary defence and being able to open them up. The speed of Dublin's forwards, including Ronan Hayes, makes the team better suited to Croke Park than to Parnell Park. Photograph. Photograph: Lorraine O’Sullivan/Inpho
