Tough watch at times tbh. Backs looked out of their depth, too slow in thought and in deed. Full back did really well after a bad start, attacked the ball and was rewarded for it, unfortunately those around him were caught flatfooted constantly. I counted one ruck in the game that we won. Huge failing for Cork teams at every level it seems.
Cork seemed surprised at the pace of the game, they seemed to be always a yard or two slower, they were looking and expecting frees that were never going to be given and were knocked off the ball too often. Hopefully they can take onboard the step up needed and we see a reaction against Limerick who will be even more physical than Tipp no doubt.
