6. Bryan O'Mara Rating: 5/10 Like Morgan, O’Mara has savage potential but his form in this Tipperary team is a serious worry for all supporters. He just isn’t playing with the confidence we’d expect from a player of his ability, and he struggled at times to cover the runners from Cork and lost his battle with Seamus Harnedy.

7. Conor Bowe Rating: 6/10 Bowe was far from outstanding in this game but he never stopped trying, even when the game was gone halfway through the second half. He fetched a lot of possession in the air and hit a fine point in the second half just after the second goal to get Tipp back in contention. He can hold his head higher than most.

9. Eoghan Connolly Rating: 3/10 A truly awful outing for the Cashel King Cormacs man who was given a run around by Darragh Fitzgibbon. Connolly was chasing shadows in the first half and it was summed up when he took of on a run with one of the few possessions he had and was easily dispossessed by tracking Cork defenders.

12. Noel McGrath Rating: 6/10 In what could prove to be one of his last appearances for Noel McGrath in a Tipperary jersey, he showed his attitude in that he never stopped looking to affect the game, even when the cause was lost. He hit two trademark points in the game and ran himself ragged trying to salvage some pride late on. The sight of him trudging off the pitch after the game was a sad one indeed.
