Build-up

[edit]

Lar Corbett was named at right half forward in the starting fifteen for Tipperary for the first time since the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final defeat to Kilkenny, replacing the injured Gearóid Ryan. It was the only change to the Tipperary team from the one that defeated Cork 1–22 to 0–24 in the semi-final.[8][9] Waterford named veteran Tony Browne in their starting fifteen at right half-back in place of Richie Foley, with Noel Connors picked at corner-back ahead of Aidan Kearney, while Pauric Mahony was in at number ten instead of Eoin Kelly.[10][11]

Reaction

[edit]

After the match Tipperary manager Declan Ryan mentioned that he was still looking for more from his players, saying "I don't think we played as well as we could have in the first half, The guys battled well and we were delighted to go in level at half-time. We finished very strongly and that's always pleasing, We've done that in the last couple of games. We can be very happy with our finish anyway."[13]
