Cork Manager Jimmy Barry Murphy says he will pick his team for Sunday’s All Ireland final against Clare on form, and not to stop their opposition.
The Rebels boss is expected to announce his team tonight for the All-Munster clash. The inclusion of Brian Murphy is the major talking point.
The Bride Rovers defender is back from a shoulder injury and has played in the club championship, so could make a return to the Cork setup.
JBM says he won’t be swayed by what tactics or formations his counterpart Davy Fitzgerald has used to date in choosing his team.
However, one former Clare manager feels Murphy could have a difficult afternoon if he does line out at Croke Park on Sunday.
Former All Ireland winner Ger ‘Sparrow’ O’Loughlin thinks the wide-open nature of Croke Park could expose the former Young Hurler of the Year’s lack of match practice.
