game plan but most importantly it's your routine right so I know we're all you know we have fierce anticipation of such a big game this weekend and you would think to me now he's kind of fobbing off that question I'm not the routine for this game will be the exact same as the routine for we'll say the Watford game in the first round of the league and the second round of the league and the third round of the league and the fourth round of the league and the league final and the first round of the round robin

As fast as they'll be going on Sunday, they'll be going tonight.

Into a game then, where it'll be the A team versus the B team, the team for Sunday, probably more nightly or the last championship team.

And that, maybe 10 minutes a side game tonight.

you know if it was if it was pay-per-view I know we give out about pay-per-view we'd all buy it tonight to watch it because they will be going hell for leather the very same as I'm sure Cockwell I'm only speaking from my experience at Limerick you know it's as funny as people that aren't used to being in high performance environments you might think it's all calm you know and you ratchet it down we'll say coming to the big games no you turn it up

And that's where, if you have a management team that's been in place a while and they do put in this process, we'll call it, your routine is what allows you to actually perform, John, in terms of they will do nothing different this week in terms of the lay of the land, in terms of when they'll train, in terms of the time that they'll train, in terms of how long they'll give in a meeting room before training tonight.

you turn that dial up because that dial can't go up on Sunday that dial has to go up last week for us to be on the way up for the last six months so they'll be going hell for letter tonight and I maybe said this before John will even say there's no hole like just before the ball is turning for the match there's no hole in back tonight lads something happens you just move on do not do not slow down do not slow down going into a tackle here do not going up for a high ball here do not if a man is if a man is there to be got at tonight you go at him and you take you know if a fella puts up his hand

It'll be 15 minutes and out the door.

There'll be no going on for an hour going through about Cork.

That won't happen at all.

Most of it will actually be about themselves.

90% of it will be about themselves

the one thing I'd say what is different from my time with those great players that you mentioned what you would notice in terms of the first week of June compared to February, April maybe even May is when they get into training tonight and the first drill that takes place

and he's not doing it the right way like he do on Sunday you take it off him you know you just go all out because you can't turn on on Sunday it has to be done tonight is really important management will place huge importance on tonight Friday is a bit different they're still training they're still training hard Friday 25-30 minutes without the game maybe but this week is still hugely important like in that circle of trust when they're all getting together like

the laughing and the joking maybe that will be going on at different times of the year that's you know that comes down a bit the seriousness goes up some fellas that are great cracking around the transitions and they still be great crack before and after the likes of Keane Lynch or you know whoever you mentioned they're always kind of bubbling but when that ball goes in tonight Tuesday night no tonight is the night actually it's funny we're talking today there will be hell for leather there John

there will be John will stand over they'll start we'll say a drill with a couple of lads you know four on two or whatever it is John will stand five yards away before you get into a game and he will be dead quiet and he will say I want to see it here and all that we can't turn it on on Sunday and they will go there'll be a four or five minute period there John where we will be held for later as fast as they'll be going on Sunday they'll be going tonight into a game then where it'll be the A team versus the B team the team for Sunday probably more nightly or the last championship team and that maybe ten minutes a side game tonight

yeah yeah I know what you mean and even interesting the way John as Mulder said there would John ratchet up the volume I found from my years with John it's funny it's when the volume would actually go low if you know what I mean like you could be in the meeting room then and that's how he'll wire it just before because obviously we spoke about Sean O'Donnell it'll be his job to do the video tonight nobody else's he'll do the 15 minutes video and then John will talk before you head out if a player wants to talk it could be any player John there was years gone by where it had been experienced players who weren't even starting in a big final

you know if it was if it was pay-per-view I know we give out about pay-per-view we'd all buy it tonight to watch it because they will be going hell for that or the very same as I'm sure Cock will I'm only speaking from my experience at Limerick you know it's as funny as people that aren't used to being in high performance environments you might think it's all calm you know and you ratchet it down we'll say come to the big games no you turn it up

you turn that dial up because that dial can't go up on Sunday that dial has to go up last week for us to be on the way up for the last six months so they'll be going hell for leather tonight and I maybe said this before John will even say there's no hold like just before the ball is turning for the match there's no holding back tonight lads something happens you just move on do not do not slow down do not slow down going into a tackle here do not going up for a high ball here do not if a man is if a man is there to be got at tonight you go at him and you take you know if a fella puts up his hand

who might have been back onto the bench and they might have said that they could add a bit of value or different players over the years you know who might have come back off the team would still stand up on a Tuesday and speak if they had to you know like someone like a Graham Mull who was you know the respect levels for a Graham Mull were absolutely through the roof
