I'd imagine that there was a lot of head-scratching going on in Tipperary yesterday morning.
Having produced an encouraging performance, albeit in defeat, against Waterford, they were woefully lacking in so many fundamental areas against Clare.
They had no fire, passion, pace or energy. It was a really bad performance all round and while I accept that they’re in a transitional phase and are mixing youth with experience, there has to be more bite to them than was apparent on Sunday.
