Cork were absolutely ruthless at the weekend against Dublin. They had a plan and they executed it so well. Pat Ryan’s side will now be built up as unbeatable going into the final. Dealing with a performance like that and trying to raise the levels again for a final is very tough.

Watch and follow live text updates from Saturday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final between Cork and Dublin at Croke Park.

A Cork TD has called for tolls gates to be left open during peak hours with tens of thousands of fans across Munster headed to the All-Ireland Hurling Final later this month.
