a bit of the Limerick structure mixed in with the Pat Ryan the three men up kind of structure I don't I don't think they can go I could be proven wrong the weekend I don't know if they can go toe to toe with the Limerick structure playing the Limerick structure taking them on in that middle third I could be proven wrong the weekend but

I think it's going to be extremely difficult.

I think they're going to have to have a little mix of maybe what they're bringing to the table under Ben O'Connor mixed in with what Pat Ryan's team or Pat Ryan's structure got an awful lot of joy from the last couple of years.

I think Keane Lynch is a massive problem for him.

If they want to play the limerick structure where Downey will sit, I think if you've had an English and you've seen Darryl Donovan in midfield, Tommy O'Connell is usually that lad that will come back and sit off and pick up the number 11.

But if he's going to be designated...

to go and put out the Adam English fire, you know, who's going to pick up, who's going to pick up Keane Lynch then?

You know, I think that, and I think communication is going to play a massive, massive part in this match.

And I think whoever, whoever communicates the best

in you know where you pass on a player to another player whoever's able to deal with that best I think will win this match because I think there's going to be an awful lot of that the weekend where you might have to pass on a player to another player for a period of time and that could be across a lot of that across the middle third of the pitch and I think whoever deals with that best will go a long way to winning the match I think it's interesting when you were talking about the 2021 Munster final

Just one last thing, Pat.

The early throw in 2 o'clock and obviously, you know, Limerick and Cork, they've

you know, Limerick have got the trial run with the two o'clock, but, you know, you're up out of bed earlier.

What time would, like for a two o'clock throw in there, obviously then you're going to have massive traffic on the roads going down to the car, obviously you're going to have the pre-match meal an awful lot earlier.

What time would these Limerick players then be

meet up on Sunday for a two o'clock throw-in?

I ask you the other question then.

Will Owen Downey and Mark Coleman follow Kyle O'Neill and follow Gareth O'Neill back to field?

Do you not think Cork should zone in Maricon and Nicky Quaid's puck out?

Rather than follow?
