Cork fans are eager to see some brave changes for the showdown with Limerick

“It’s all too easy to call for changes after a loss. Change in itself won’t achieve a whole lot. It’s improvements that are required.”

By the same token, the opening goal came from a miscued touch, and Bubbles O’Dwyer drifted around and picked off seven points in an MVP outing.

Cork have the motivation of atoning for their woeful effort against Tipp, and the regret from losing last year’s All-Ireland final as well. Those factors should guarantee Meyler’s charges perform even if they don’t get the required result.
