11. Andrew Ormond Rating: 7/10 He didn't hit the heights of previous outings in scoring terms, but when the game was in the melting pot in the second half, he won some crucial frees that helped Tipp stem the tide when down to 14 players. He should have squared a ball to John McGrath in the first half when in on goal, but that would be the only black mark against him.

12. Sam O'Farrell Rating: 6/10 He was quiet for a lot of the game, but still did his bit in terms of closing down and tracking back into the middle third. He hit a fine point in the early stages of the second half after linking up with U20 teammate Darragh McCarthy, but was the first withdrawal for Noel McGrath.

10. Jake Morris Rating: 8/10 Drifted in and out of the game, but when he did get involved, he made a big difference. He had three points in the first half, helped set up John McGrath's goal, and had one effort saved well by Eoin Murphy. He started the second half quieter, but equalised just after the McCarthy dismissal and worked like a dog out of possession in the full forward line.

13. Darragh McCarthy Rating: 7/10 He will be so disappointed in the manner he picked up his second yellow, but that aside, what a contribution he made in his first appearance in Croke Park. He scored a class goal, set up Forde for Tipperary's third, and assisted three Tipperary points as well as winning two frees to convert for himself, eventually leading to his marker - Shane Murphy - being subbed at half-time. He missed two of his four frees, but overall, it was a pretty healthy contribution to the win and one that will stand to him after two poor outings against Laois and Galway.
