There’s a nice balance to that team VladI wouldn't dream of taking Joyce out of centre backs lads. The decade we had of teams running down our center is seared into my brain and just in case I was in any danger of forgetting it we got a timely reminder in the Kilkenny game of what happens when Joyce is missing.
I think there's serious competition in the full backline for places. There's no definite starter there anymore.
For the Offaly game I'd start with
Collins
E Roche
D Cahalane
E Downey
G Millerick
C Joyce
R Downey
T O Connell
M Coleman
T O Mahoney
D Fitzgibbon (Ryan said yesterday he's available)
S Twomey
J O Connor
A Connelly
S Barrett
