Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney debate the high amount of high tackles creeping into hurling, and where it is leading to.
Ronan Maher collided with Darragh Fitzgibbon in the round-two Munster SHC clash between Tipperary and Cork last Saturday evening.
The connection with the Rebel man’s head, though unintentional from the Thurles man, drew gasps from those watching at Pairc Ui Chaoimh and on GAA Go.
Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney look at the latest incident in hurling, and reflect back on moments involving Seamus Flanagan and Gearoid Hegarty.
CORK AND TIPP LEAD THE WAY AFTER TWO ROUNDS
None of Munster’s five counties are on full points after two rounds, underlining how fiercely-competitive the campaign is.
Cork and Tipperary lead the way with three from a possible four points, followed by Limerick and Clare on two points each while Waterford have yet to pick up a point.
