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.

Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney look at the latest incident in hurling, and reflect back on moments involving Seamus Flanagan and Gearoid Hegarty.
