Against Cork<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"782\">Speaking on The Sunday Game, Anthony Daly suggested Tipperary may have \u201ccrammed\u201d too much in their preparation for Cork.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"837\">I wonder, did they cram a bit for an exam.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"975\">You miss quite a bit of league, and then you have the hangover from the All-Ireland\u2026 there\u2019s so much extra that comes with winning it.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Recommended\n    <\/p>\n<p>                        <a :href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/article.url\" :title=\"article.title\" :aria-label=\"article.title\" class=\"not-prose col-span-2 md:col-span-1 ga-event\" data-category=\"Recommended Article Tracker\" data-action=\"click\" :data-label=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/article.url\" :data-value=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/article.url\"><\/p>\n<p>                                            <img class=\"aspect-video\" width=\"130\" height=\"73\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/article.image\" :alt=\"'Image for: ' + article.title\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1169\">Daly pointed to the off-field demands that come with success, appearances, travel and celebrations, as factors that can quietly drain energy levels, even if players believe they\u2019ve moved on.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1283\">It drains energy\u2026 and maybe they overdid it since the Kilkenny league game trying to be fully ready for today.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1397\">The result, in his view, was a team that lacked the sharpness and intensity typically associated with Liam Cahill&#8217;s Tipperary.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1678\">With a quick turnaround before their next outing away to Waterford in Walsh Park, Daly feels a reset is needed rather than more hard graft.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1680\" data-end=\"1718\">I\u2019d say less will be more this week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1791\">For Tipperary, the challenge now is to rediscover the intensity that made them All-Ireland champions in 2025 and they&#8217;ll have to do it quickly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1866\">With Waterford and Tipperary both losing in round one whatever side loses out in round two will be under serious pressure to emerge from Munster.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/munster-hurling-championship-2026-fixtures-table-permutations-653599\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 Munster Hurling Championship: Fixtures, Results, Permutations<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/donal-og-cusack-liam-sheedy-cork-tipp-analysis-653736\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donal \u00d3g Cusack Has Wry Response To Sheedy\u2019s Verdict On Cork V Tipp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Daly believes Tipperary may have been victims of their own preparation in their Munster Championship defeat to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112,9123],"class_list":{"0":"post-409013","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tipperary"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
