Limerick 1-26
Clare 1-20
DURING THE WEEK, THE talking heads on all the podcasts and tactical columns got their teeth and nails into the Munster hurling final.
They pulled it apart, dissected it, deconstructed the match-ups, the shapes, the shape-shifting and the big beautiful tactical brains involved.
And for all the talking, everyone came back to the final conclusion; Limerick will beat you with Plan A. And if that doesn’t work, there’s at least two more back-up plans that will fry your brain.
