And they showed it from the very start by being brave, by opting to play against the wind in the first half because they knew with their pace and their direct running that they were going to reap rewards.

And they did.

They got the three goals.

I just think back on it because I looked at it again last night and it was half the same.

And particularly, they're running down direct.

And I'm saying, we talked about Galway and sort of both teams.

I do think both teams will start to be happy because Galway... Are Galway still a top four team?

I probably think they are.

Can Galway win and all that?

I'm not ruling them out.

You know, I think...

getting Shane Walsh back to form, getting Damien Comer back to form.

The best 15, I think they're close to knowing who their best 15 is.

Right, McDade went off injured and Rob Finnerty, but they had 13 of their top 15 on at the end of the game.

I thought the one, I thought their selection at the start was strange.

And I thought one player in particular, his absence, I said, hmm, I'm not too sure it is.

They'll replace John Daly with Kieran Molloy.

And John Daly is the rock that keeps the centre of defence.

And what happens?

That centre of defence was opened up by Roscommon running through.
