It's frightening.

That rebel roar where we were asking the question in the league final, where was the rebel roar?

I'll tell you, the rebel roar was back yesterday.

And like when Cork got both goals, but they got particularly the goal in the first half where they were under severe pressure, lads.

And I mean, it was 10 points to three at one stage, nine points at two.

Limerick were in cruise control.

I mean, I was up doing the commentary with Porrick Lodge.

And I've seen him say, Limerick were playing hurling from the gods.

I mean, their ball handling, their skill set, you know, some of the scores that they were taking.

I mean, you were saying to yourself, Jesus, this is why Limerick are our favourites to win the All-Ireland and they're on everyone's lips.

It was similar to the league final, John, wasn't it?

Well, it was the exact same mirror of what a Limerick full forward would do in regards to exerting pressure on, you know, the opposition defence.

And Brie Creta has to go to Barrett and Connolly, you know, to a straight in, you know, exerted that pressure on Will O'Donoghue.

and worked the ball for one another into Barrett and a super finish by Barrett and then that just generated that that breathed life into into a car team who were probably and it gave them it gave them an enormous amount of energy like they were probably slow out of the blocks

they were probably, you know, a small bit off on the energy levels.

And then all of a sudden, when that roar went up, they gathered momentum, they got the next few scores.

And all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye, the deficit was down to a point.

And look, it's...

an ill judge I think he was trying to force something that wasn't on which is why he was brilliant when things weren't going well too and to me that's the real judge of a player but they were very smart in the placement of Barry Welch and Fitzgibbon I mean it's nearly like they're rotating it but on this occasion they changed it over I was half expecting Barry Welch to go on to go on to Kyle Hayes as he did in the first match

up in the league phase of the league.
