What has been said?

Before the semi-final victory over Dublin, Cork manager Pat Ryan expressed his disapproval of late changes, implying he is likely to stick to his lineup.

Ryan stated: “I believe it’s unfair to the players.”

“While you can discuss the depth of the panel and the confidence in each player, pretending one player is starting over another creates confusion.

“A player might go home believing they’re starting, which makes it difficult for them to perform off the bench.”

“That’s just my philosophy; it’s never been my way, and if I started doing that now, it would feel out of character.” In any case, Cork’s main squad is well known, and their opponents often struggle to contain them.
