6. Seamus Kennedy Rating: 6/10 Had a very tough evening on Rian McBride and struggled with the pace of the Dublin attack at various points. He has been a solid operator in the league to date and will be disappointed with his contribution overall.

7. Ronan Maher Rating: 7/10 The Tipperary captain can mix the sublime with the frustrating at times and this was the case on Saturday. He is a machine in the half back line, but his tendency to shoot wides is becoming a noticeable feature of his game, adding three misses in this game. He might be better suited to centre back going forward.

8. Alan Flynn Rating: 6/10 Anonymous again in this game. While he is sacrificing his own game in large part to cover the Tipp half back line, he is just not getting involved enough in general play, and his substitution in the middle of the second half was not unexpected.

9. Paddy Cadell Rating: 6/10 Cadell had a marginally better outing than his midfield partner here, but it's fair to say that their direct markers in Chirs Crummey and Conor Burke were far more prominent. Cadell has plenty of potential and this was his first start of the year, so he should be given the benefit of the doubt for the next day.
