Quotes corner

Mayo's Stephen Coen on younger players: “There's a bit more craic and it's brought down the average age of the group as well. What I'm very impressed with is they've blended with guys who've been here a while very quickly.

“They made an effort to mix amongst the group and have really added to the togetherness. As you can see from the performances they just play with the shackles off, want to hunt after the ball, attack as much as possible and just work really hard.

“I think it's admirable the way they've played. A lot of us guys who've been playing for a while now have learned a lot from them.”

Tipperary manager David Power: “Croke Park won’t hold any fear for Tipperary. In 2018 in the qualifier in Thurles, Mayo got a very fortunate goal that day and Tipp were leading the whole way up to that goal.

“There have been a few small things that went in Mayo’s favour over the last two games so Croke Park won’t hold any fear, I think we can really grow into Croke Park and the players like playing there.

“We won’t fear Mayo. I believe in this Tipperary football team that if we get a performance, that we’ll be very close to Mayo come Sunday.

“There is no point going into a game if you think you are going to be beaten. I certainly don’t think that way and the players don’t think that way. If we get a performance we have every chance on Sunday.”

Mayo win: 2/7
