He said: 'We left an awful lot of chances behind us. But it's knockout Championship, there's going to be a bit more trepidation in it, a bit more nervousness in it. 'Like something out of the French Revolution' - RTE GAA pundit Donal Og Cusack slams Dublin star's reckless swipe 'Both ourselves and Waterford knew that if we didn't win, we'd be out of the Championship. We played a small bit like that, with a bit of nerves.' Ryan's side finished the game with their wides tally at 17.

That's the standard. 'You're not always going to play as well or have great hurling at times and things might not come off in your game-plan. "But your work-rate, your attitude and your character has to be the standard. 'From our point of view, the attitude last week wasn't good enough. The effort wasn't good enough. I don't think we played brilliant hurling today but today was about attitude and character.' Advertisement While Cork are back in the decider after seven years away, Limerick are into their seventh consecutive provincial final. John Kiely opted for eight changes against Clare. Declan Hannon made his first appearance of the season, and Shane Dowling lined out for his first championship game since the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny. The manager was left agitated on the sideline by his team's mistakes. Advertisement He said: 'We just didn't come out of the blocks in the second half. 'It was one of our weakest quarters of the game. We lacked intensity, a bit of energy, and accuracy in what we were doing. 'We made too many mistakes and ultimately, across the 70 minutes, on analysis it will be shown that we made quite an inordinate number of errors. "Just missed pick-ups, dropped balls, misplaced passes, unforced errors, if you like." Advertisement

Munster Hurling Final ticket update as Limerick and Cork to go at it again
Munster GAA have released a ticket update for the Limerick/Cork provincial hurling decider on Saturday week, and it's not good news for the casual fan. The Gaelic Grounds tie is almost certain to sellout as Cork go into the lion's den again, having been hammered by 16 points by Limerick at the same venue eight days ago. That tie attracted a bumper sellout crowd of 42, 477 for the group stage meeting and the same is expected in 12 days time. It's hard to believe that this is Cork's first Munster Hurling Final appearance in seven years (2018), while this historymaking Limerick side go for the province's first ever seven-in-a-row. Limerick won their recent meeting 3-26 to 1-16 to qualify for the Munster Final. This allowed them to rest key players in their weekend dead rubber defeat by Clare. Cork had to defeat Waterford at Pairc Ui Chaoimh over the weekend to stay alive in the Championship - and they did that on a 2-25 to 1-22 scoreline, despite hitting 17 wides. The Rebels were without injured skipper Robert Downey, while Declan Dalton and Niall O'Leary also missed the game due to injury. They're all in a race against time to prove their fitness for the rematch with John Kiely's all conquering side. Ger Mellerick, Cormac O'Brien and Seamus Harnedy all came into the Cork side at the weekend, showing the depth they have, while Diarmuid Healy impressed off the bench. The winner of the Munster Final will go straight through to the All-Ireland semi-final, with the loser going into the quarter-finals. It's a game that has got fans excited as the hurling world waits to see if a Cork side, which defeated Limerick twice in last year's Championship, can muster a response to their recent mauling. But getting a ticket to see this one could prove tricky. Munster GAA released the following statement: 'Due to the high demand, tickets for the Munster Senior Hurling Final on Saturday June 7 at 6pm in the TUS Gaelic Grounds Limerick will be distributed through the participating County Boards only. 'Season ticket holders from Limerick and Cork will receive their tickets through the normal channels. There will be no public sale of tickets via Ticketmaster, Centra or Supervalu outlets.'
